Breastfeeding helps your womb return to its normal size more quickly and, because it uses up calories, it will help you to lose some of the weight gained in pregnancy. It s so much easier and more practical in the middle of the night. A nursing bra will give you support so that you feel more comfortable. Ask for a proper fitting when choosing a bra. Choose adjustable bras because the size of your breasts will change.
Some women feel more comfortable wearing a nursing bra at night as well.
Almost every woman can breastfeed, but it can sometimes take a little while to get it right. Be patient and ask your midwife or health visitor for help if you need it. All shapes and sizes make milk. Most women with flat or inverted nipples should be able to breastfeed. However, you may need a little extra help in learning to position your baby.
