So, one last word about maternity clothing and then I’ll find something else to talk about. (Promise.)
(Although, okay, this doesn’t quite fit in the maternity clothing category, but close enough.)
I’m going to share with you fellow expectant (and nursing) moms the world’s best nursing bra, which is the Leading Lady Molded Stretch Pad Nursing Bra (#410):
I have several of them and they’re all I wear (while nursing. I have my limits). I’ve tried tons of different brands and styles and all of them (cheap and expensive alike) seemed to be either too padded (as if you need any extra bulk, ahem), or way too thin, AHEM.
This really is the perfect bra; provides good coverage and support and a clean smooth silhouette, but is not overly-padded or bulky. PLEASE leave a comment if you’re one of the 20+ women I’ve recommended this bra to and you purchased it.
They can be ordered here: BrasNYC.com and here: Essential Apparel. (EA is the cheapest but they only carry nude.)

I think this bra is best for well endowed mamas. Not moi.
Yes, that seems to be the trend – they are good for women with a bigger chest. Should have mentioned it.
I bought this about 3 seconds after you told me about it the first time because I had just had Kate and I HATED every other nursing bra I ever had. I am NOT well-endowed by any stretch of the imagination, but it still worked great for me!
I’m a woman of average endowment (never thought I’d be saying this to the masses) and this is what I wrote to a friend right after my bra came in the mail: “For the first time since I had this child I feel like my chest is an appropriate distance from my navel! Thanks for the recommendation.” It’s the only bra I’ll wear when nursing and I’ve recommended it to tons of people as well. Glad you are getting the word out!
Not pregnant or nursing currently. However, have never been able to find a good nursing bra. I am quite, umm, well endowed, and am pumped to try this one next time around! So frustrating not being able to find a 34DD…I mean, the girls get big when nursing…why all the A cups?? Thanks for the recommendation!!
I am not even pregnant, but I think I am tempted to order some of these right now just out of sheer joy at having a recommendation for something that sounds like it will actually work for me. Thank you SO MUCH for posting this.
Hee hee hee, I actually WANT the overstuffed poofy bra! I desperately need anything extra I can get…even completely engorged!
I wish these came larger than DD, because I am desperate for decent nursing bras. But I think my current one is like an H. EEP!
I bought 2 of these after you told me about them and loved them! I might still wear them even though i’m not pregnant or nursing…..
Grrrr!!!! I hated my nursing bras, I tried about a dozen and still none of them felt right. I am still nursing but my daughter is 15 months now so I can get away with going out with a regular bra, where was this info when I needed it?
