Should you wear a nursing bra whilst sleeping?
It’s absolutely fine to wear a nursing bra when sleeping. You just need to make sure that it is not an underwired nursing bra.
Is it OK to wear a nursing bra to sleep in bed?
It’s perfectly OK to wear a nursing bra to sleep in. When nursing, your breasts can be very sensitive and could definitely do with the extra support that you get from wearing a bra when sleeping. There is another reason we would recommend wearing a bra to sleep in and this is to do with a little thing called leakage.
It’s not uncommon for some milk to leak during the night (we write this from personal experience after all). Changing the sheets or sleeping on a towel can get irritating pretty quickly. By wearing a nursing bra to sleep, you are able to slip in some breastpads that will absorb any leakage, leaving you to spring out of bed in the morning without the headache of changing your sheets… well, maybe not spring out of bed, but you get the idea!
If you haven’t already seen them, we have some great nursing bras here on the site. As always, if you have any questions, please get in touch! We would love to hear from you.
