Hi mummies
I'm looking for recommendations for nursing bra's I'm usually a size 8-10 and have quite petite shoulders. My natural bra size is DD-E. Last time I was pregnant, my boobs grew to a size F once my milk came in.
I want to buy some good quality bra's that will support and also be comfortable. I know there are non-wire and underwire varieties in many brands. Hoping fellow big busted mummy's can point me in the direction of what they used (and most importantly what you LOVED). Happy to spend a decent amount as bra's tend to be expensive for bigger busts. Prefer something that doesn't have thick straps and would like some perfect for around the house/sleep as well as for going out. I've seen the brand Hotmilk and their bra's look good, has anyone used them???
Thanks ladies :)

I am in exactly the same boat, i ended up in a g cup once my milk came in and also have a very narrow back.. i bought a few of the hotmilk brand last time i was pregnant and will probably again this time around.. i was quite happy with them, straps aren't to bad and had some nice designs, were comfy and most importantly supportive
Thanks for your advice! So excited to hear they are good bra's. They look great and sometimes it's hard to tell just by looks. I will definitely purchase some :)
I'm not sure where you are located but if you have a stockist near you that provides a fitting service i would go in and try try try... but definitely good bras just a shame they are so expensive :-) good luck
I went to a maternity store and tried on several different ones. There are bras out there to suit your size - just gotta find them!! I had better luck trying them in a store than ordering online.
Hotmilk bras are awesome, great variety of sizes and are actually pretty! I brought mine online from their site, they have an easy to do at home sizing guide so you don't have to guess and you can exchange of they're not quite right
Thank you!! That's exactly what I was hoping to hear. It's hard to find pretty bra's for bigger busts. And I find they don't always have my size in stock when I go in store :)
14F here and I like the removable wire ones from bras n things, they are about $50 but even in my size are thin strap and only 2 clips at the back. They don't come in pretty designs anymore only black and nude I think. You can pop the wire out in the early days or if you want to sleep in it then pop them in if you want to go out with a bit more support.
