46G. Bosom Buddies offers many different styles and sizes of nursing bras, and their catalogue includes a chart showing mothers how to measure their breasts so they know what size to order. Motherwear offers a complete catalogue of nursing fashions. Rather than taking their orders directly by mail or phone, Cameo first refers women to their local couturiere to be individually fitted. Once the women have been fitted and are sure of their size, Cameo will take their orders. Although their bras are not designed specifically for nursing, they do feature drop flaps.
Nursing Discreetly Mothers with large breasts also have difficulty learning to nurse discreetly.
They often need to pull their clothing high up over their breasts in order to see their nipples to help their babies latch on to their breast. And when large-breasted mothers open the flap on their nursing bras, their whole breast may fall out of the bra, exposing much of their breast. Linda Kutner, a lactation consultant from North Carolina, suggests a solution to this problem. She recommends that large-breasted mothers make their own bras. While wearing the non-nursing bra, cut away a circle large enough to expose the nipple and all of the areola and then sew the flap from the nursing bra onto this modified bra.
