Will wearing a snug sports bra at night mess up my milk supply at all?

Question

I'M SOOOO TIRED OF WEARING A NURSING BRA TO BED

Answer 1

You could try one of the criss-cross bras that offer light support while being easy to nurse in..Like others said-avoid constricting bras like too tight or underwires that don't fit good as it can lead to a blocked milk duct or even mastitis (I've had both and if you feel tender nurse that baby more while massaging your breast) which are not fun.

Any light-support bra is great for nightime...

Answer 2

lol, no it wont. You'll feel a lot of pressure though, with the tightness it could make you leak more.

Answer 3

LOL I know how you feel... be careful that it is not too snug....overnight, you leak to relieve engorgement, but as you get engorged, if there is too much pressure on a duct and it is not able to "let down" properly, it may become blocked and it is very painful...may then lead to mastitis.

I know because I tried this and got a blocked duct

Answer 4

You should be fine although with the more snug fit, you could have a tendency to leak more.  I have read that if you wear tight fitting bras, straps or wires, then you could eventually decrease your milk supply.

Nursing bras are okay...have you tried the SLEEPER bra?  This is probably what you are referring to but I would not have it any other way.  It is so comfortable.

Good Luck!
