She then cast her net out to the wider internet and collated a list of all the maternity and nursing bras that had received accolades from the likes of Which?, national newspapers and magazines as well as other parenting websites in the last two years. She also interviewed bra-fitting guru BraLady, aka Tracey-Jane Hughes, for tips on how to find the perfect fit and to get some insight into new products on the market.Īrmed with that information, Iona asked Mumsnet users for their maternity and nursing bra recommendations and trawled the Mumsnet forums for comments that would back those up. Iona is a mum of two and breastfed for a total of three and a half years, so she already knew a good deal about maternity bras before research began.Įven so, she spoke to bra experts at La Leche League and the National Childbirth Trust (NCT) to get their recommendations on what to look for.
