The 6 best sleep pumping bras on Amazon

When you’re half asleep, the last thing you want is to fiddle with pumping accessories in the middle of the night.

The simpler, the better. And the simplest thing you can do is to wear your pumping bra to sleep.

Just make sure it is comfy and doesn’t clog your milk ducts, like these sleep pumping bras:

Best overall sleep pumping bra: Kindred Bravely Sublime Hands-free Pumping Bra

Check it out on Amazon

Why I love the Sublime Pumping Bra:

• You can pump and breastfeed at the same time
• The cups fold down fully for good skin-to-skin contact while breastfeeding
• It’s made of the softest fabric and is comfortable for sleep
• Holds pump flanges in place securely, even when the bottles are full
• Wireless but the wide under-bust band provides good support without risk of clogged ducts
• Cup padding that you can remove for comfort and insert if you’re at risk of milk leaks
• Fits sizes 30B to 44E
• Comes in 3 colors: beige, black and pink heather
• Fits all standard pump flanges for major brands like Spectra, Philips Avent, Medela, Willow, Lansinoh and Freemie.

What’s not so great about it:

• Has an EasyClip system featuring 2 clips; one for the pumping layer and one for the nursing layer – that’s one too many for night use.
• Can feel bulky due to double layers and full coverage.

Who is it for?

Moms with larger breasts – the double layers, full coverage and wide under-bust band can overwhelm smaller moms but provides great support for big boobs.

Best for small breasts: Rumina Classic Pumping and Nursing Bra

Check it out on Amazon

Why I love the Rumina Pumping Bra:

• You can pump and nurse at the same time
• It has a ‘no hole pumping design’ – you insert the pump shields at the side of the cups instead of in the middle. This prevents your nipples from poking through the holes.
• It’s made of super soft, breathable cotton and is comfy enough to wear all night – perfect when you have sensitive skin
• Fits bra sizes 32B and upwards
• Good value-for-money
• Fits all standard pump flanges for major brands like Spectra, Philips Avent, Medela, Willow, Lansinoh and Freemie.

What’s not so great about it:

• Supports smaller boobs fine but not enough support for larger breasts
• Sizes run small

Best sports sleep pumping bra: Cake Maternity Lotus Pumping Bra

Check it out on Amazon 

Why I love the Lotus Pumping Bra:

• This is literally a 3-in-1 nursing bra: You can use it as a ‘regular’ nursing bra to breastfeed, a hands-free pumping bra, and as a yoga bra.
• The double-layered cup design wrap around the flanges tightly and holds your shield and bottles in place even towards the end of pumping when the bottles are full of milk.
• It comes in sizes XS – XL which caters to moms from bra size 30A to 42E
• It is amazingly comfy, being made of soft, stretchy fabric (95% nylon/5% elastane). It is also seam-free and wireless.
• The bra is compatible with most pump brands – Spectra, Medela, Tommy Tippee, Avent, Pigeon, NUK, Minbee and Chicco.
• It comes in 5 cool colors.
• OEKO-TEX certified so you know it doesn’t contain harmful toxins – safer for mommy and baby

What’s not so great about it:

• It starts of feeling a bit restrictive and tight – this effect wears off with 1-2 washes
• the blue-colored bra fades in the wash (the other colors don’t)
• on the pricier side

Why I love the Simple Wishes Sling Bralette

• innovative design, it’s one-of-a-kind
• you can nurse and pump at the same time

To wrap up

Nursing sleep bras are still my first choice for sleeping like a baby. But if you’re pumping at night, the Kindred Bravely Sublime Pumping Bra ticks the most boxes for large-breasted moms. For moms with small chests, the Rumina Classic Pumping Bra is your best bet.
