Breastfeeding and the gym - which bra??

[Willow]

I am starting at the gym tomorrow and I'm really not sure what sort of a bra I should be wearing - a feeding bra won't be supportive enough but I'm not sure if I should be wearing a sports bra? ?

Would a feeding bra (maternity bra, whatever you like to call them) with a sports crop top kinda thing over the top be OK??

Help!

I used to just wear my bonds bumps maternity bras cause they were thicker and had more support, and over the top I wore an aerobic top that had a built in support bra.

That's sort of what I had in mind but I'm not sure if it will be enough support for me...I'm a DD

I'm an E cup when feeding, I had a fantastic lovable brand feeding bra that I would wear to play basketball with an extra aerobic crop top to add extra support. I always found that to be adequate support. The feeding bra had really high release hooks (the feeding clips if that makes sense), apparently the higher they are the more support the bra can give, they were almost at the top of my shoulders. Its a good quality one too, I bought it when feeding DS2 3 years ago and am still using it now for DD.

I was just about to post the same thing, I am a DD too, was wondering what to do!!

I was DD when breastfeeding and I wore a well fitted maternity bra (can't remember brand and buried in the yet to be unpacked boxes) with one of the Bub2B brand feeding singlets over the top while jogging. Was great support. I made sure as soon as I could post milk production I went and actually got a bra fitted properly as in measured. The extra 5 minutes was a fantastic investment.
