Right after you have a baby is not the time when you are generally feeling your sexiest, right?  But still as women, we always want to look pretty, even if we have to wear functional nursing bras.  So can bras for nursing be both pretty and functional?  The answer is absolutely - YES!

First let's tackle functional.

Here is what to look for a pretty nursing bras.

Does your nursing bra fit well?

No matter how good your bra looks, it needs to fit.  If you are unsure about how to fit your bra correctly, check out this post on how to fit a nursing bra.

Is it easy to operate?

This question makes your bra sound like a piece of machinery, but it is important.  The nursing flap needs to be able to open one handed without a lot of hassle.

Is it comfortable?

You should always look for seamless nursing bras (or at least is should have no seams over your nipples).  This is very, very important.  Your nipples may be sore already from nursing... you don't want to make matters worse.

Is it supportive?

Your nursing bra should be very supportive and not leave room for a lot of motion.  This will make you much more comfortable in the long run.  This is particularly important if you are well endowed.  You can read more about plus size nursing bras here.

Once you have all of these bases covered then you can go for pretty.   These are some of my favorite pretty nursing bras (I love lace).
