Can I wear a bra while breastfeeding? During the breastfeeding period, many mothers are concerned about whether they can wear bras, worrying that wearing bras will really affect milk secretion. Is this true?

Experts say: Choosing the right bra will not affect milk secretion. If the bra is too small or too tight, it will lead to poor milk discharge and milk accumulation, which may reflexively cause a decrease in milk secretion. For this reason, you can wear a bra during breastfeeding.

During breastfeeding, it is best for mothers to wear a nursing bra designed specifically for breastfeeding mothers. There are many nursing bras on the market that are specially designed for breastfeeding mothers. Mothers can choose this type of nursing bra, which is convenient for mothers to breastfeed and prevent breasts from sagging.

Many experts suggest that breastfeeding women should wear bras from the beginning of breastfeeding. Without a bra, your breasts will sag noticeably due to the added weight. Especially when the breasts are shaken violently while working or walking, the sagging will be more obvious. Because the breasts continue to swell and produce milk during lactation, it is indecent not to wear a bra. Wearing a bra will support and hold the breasts, which will help promote blood circulation in the breasts, promote milk secretion and improve the breasts' resistance to disease, and protect the nipples from abrasions and scratches.

Nursing bras are designed to meet the needs of breastfeeding mothers and make it easier for mothers to breastfeed decently in public. Therefore, bras can be worn during breastfeeding.
