The nursing bra woes of breastfeeding moms with large breasts are legendary. You want something that is comfortable, supportive and ideally cute. But finding the right bra can be like looking for a knit on your child’s scalp. Painful for all.
If you think restrictive underwired nursing bras are the only bras supportive enough for your large breasts, think again. Wireless nursing bras can be everything that a big girl could want – comfort, support and style.
