a) Finding a Breastfeeding Bra of the Right Size
 

Choosing a well-adjusted maternity and breastfeeding support bra is important for your comfort as your body changes and prepares for your breastfeeding journey.

 

The benefits of different maternity bras
Wearing a bra that is too small for you can be an uncomfortable experience. It is difficult to know how your breast will change throughout the experience of motherhood and breastfeeding, as each woman's body is unique and changes differently: some mothers only increase one cup size, while others increase three or more more sizes. That is why it is important to wear well designed bras and tops that adapt well to your body changes and provide a comfortable experience.

During the day, a supportive bra for comfortable breastfeeding, without rims and without seams is the best option. You can start using this type of bra during pregnancy, when your normal bras stop serving you. When you start breastfeeding, the bras with cups that fully lower will allow you to breastfeed your baby easily and discreetly.

To breastfeed easily at night, you should choose a sleep bra that is comfortable and breathable and that keeps the breast pads in place.

 

What size bra should I buy?
The first step in finding the right bra for you is to take your measurements well, which can be easily done in the comfort of your home or by a professional in a store. Each woman is unique and this measurement is the first and most important step.

After taking measurements, it is best to try on the bra to make sure it is the right size. This will also allow you to test the different characteristics of the bra, such as the hooks, the cups that fully lower, the springs, the material, the shape, the support, if it is discreet, among others.

When trying on the bra, loosen the strap springs with just one hand to make sure it is easy to use. This feature is important because you will need to open and close them regularly with just one hand while holding your baby.

b) What happens to my breasts during pregnancy

If you think your breasts have stopped growing in adolescence, think again! The complex internal structures needed to breastfeed a baby only begin to form when they are pregnant and until recently we didn't even understand how they work

In addition to buying maternity bras, you may not have thought about your breasts during pregnancy. However, beneath the surface some dramatic changes are taking place. At the same time that wonderful things are happening in your womb, your breasts are also undergoing a wonderful transformation, preparing for the arrival of your baby. To fully understand what is going on, we need to step back a little ...

How breasts develop during puberty
Your breasts are constantly changing from puberty to menopause. Unlike most of your other organs, they only begin to grow after the hormones released at puberty "activate" them. But, although it seems that everything has grown after puberty, they are not yet ripe.

"After puberty, the breast continues to develop and, in each monthly cycle, adds a little secretory tissue [milk producer] until around the age of 35", explains Professor Peter Hartmann, specialist in the science of breastfeeding in University of Western Australia. "After that age, development stabilizes and the breast remains mature, but asleep."

Your breasts also renew their own internal cells as part of your monthly menstrual cycle - which is why you may feel delicate, tender or swollen at the time of your period.1

You may notice your breasts a little lumpy during the first days of your cycle, as they are preparing for the possibility of pregnancy. When your body realizes that it is not pregnant, the monthly ebb and flow of hormones starts again.2

Internal breast changes during pregnancy
This cycle is interrupted when you become pregnant. From the end of the first month of pregnancy, your breasts start to become milk-producing organs.

During this period, its milk channels increase in number and complexity and begin to branch out into an increasingly intricate feeding system. At the same time, milk-producing cells called lactocytes begin to develop inside your breasts. And the amount of blood flowing to your breasts doubles during pregnancy - which is why you can see the veins through your skin.3

"When you expel the placenta, your progesterone level starts to drop and breastfeeding starts."

"When you become pregnant, breast development effectively begins," says Professor Hartmann. "When you get pregnant, it activates the growth of the secretory tissue in the breast. It has small branches of shoot-like glands in the breast and, when you get pregnant, these little shoots grow and form channels and small sacs, called alveoli, to retain milk."

This activity inside your breasts can make you feel tingling, sore, swollen or heavy - all early signs of pregnancy. Read How Your Breasts Change During Pregnancy to learn more.

The structure of the lactating breast

Believe it or not, researchers have only recently discovered how this network of channels works within the breast.

Until the beginning of this century, much of the knowledge about how breasts produce milk was based on experiences carried out by the English surgeon Sir Astley Cooper in 1840.4 He concluded that the channels stored milk and released it through 15 to 20 openings in the nipple.

Surprisingly, it was only in 2005 that research in this field resumed. The investigation by Dr. Donna Geddes, Professor Hartmann's colleague, and her team, supported by Medela, revealed that the breasts work very differently.5 The channels are actually small tubes, with only a few millimeters of wide, that carry the milk and not that store it. Instead, milk is produced and collected in the alveoli. These bags are connected to the channels by even smaller tubes called ducts.

The milk stays in the bags until the hormone oxytocin is released into your body, when your baby starts to suck on your nipple. The alveoli are surrounded by muscle cells that contract as a reaction to oxytocin and it is these contractions that push the milk through the channels to the nipple. This whole process is known as the milk drop reflex and you may feel it tingling or blowing when you start breastfeeding your child - although some women feel nothing.7

The researchers also found that the nipples have fewer openings than initially thought: usually about nine and sometimes just four. The channels have to expand approximately 68% to receive the volume of milk that flows up to this small number of openings.8

"Throughout the breastfeeding period, the structure and functioning of the breast remain relatively constant until the baby starts to drink less milk", explains Professor Hartmann.

Breasts start producing milk during pregnancy
From the first half of your pregnancy, more or less, your alveoli are able to produce milk. Fortunately, their pregnancy hormones prevent us from producing too much9 - otherwise, they would be able to burst by the time of delivery!

"You don't want to be producing 800 ml a day while you're pregnant," says Professor Hartmann. "So it has a higher progesterone level to prevent milk secretion from being activated. Then, when it expels the placenta, its progesterone level starts to drop quickly and breastfeeding starts."

And if you are thinking about what happens to your breasts as soon as you stop breastfeeding, they return to a state of rest, but not immediately. "When a mother stops breastfeeding completely, it still takes some time before the breast is completely turned off - probably a month or two," says Professor Hartmann. "The production of human breast milk takes a long time to stop, while in other species it is quite fast."

However, your breasts eventually return to their pre-pregnancy state. Then, if you become pregnant again, the same cycle of growth and development begins again.
