Nursing Bras Australia - Maternity & Breastfeeding Bras

Comfortable Support From Pregnancy Through Postpartum

Your body changes shape multiple times between early pregnancy and the end of breastfeeding. The right nursing bra adapts with you at every stage - growing with your ribcage through pregnancy, opening easily for feeds in those early weeks, and supporting you comfortably through months of breastfeeding and beyond. Our maternity bras are curated from brands that specialise in exactly this: Cake Maternity, Hot Milk Lingerie, and Panache.

This collection includes wire-free everyday bras, flexiwire options for lift and shape, seamless sleep bras for overnight feeds, and hands-free pumping bras that work with your breast pump. Every style features one-hand nursing clips and adjustable bands that accommodate changing cup sizes - because no two days are quite the same postpartum.

Not sure where to start? Our maternity bra sizing guide helps you find the right fit for your current stage. If you need support for D cup and above, look for the busty and fuller-cup styles below.

About Maternity & Nursing Bras at Mumgerie

Standard bras stop working early in pregnancy. Breast tissue changes, your ribcage expands, and milk ducts develop beneath the surface. An underwire that fitted perfectly three months ago now digs in and risks blocked ducts or mastitis. That's why every maternity bra in our range is either wire-free or uses flexiwire technology that moves with your body rather than pressing against it. Breastfeeding bras take this further with drop-down clips at the straps, so you can feed your baby one-handed without removing your bra.

We stock nursing bras for every need and preference. Hot Milk Lingerie brings fashion-forward lace and contour styles with their Warrior range. Cake Maternity covers everything from everyday seamless bras to their Pumpkin hands-free pumping bra. Panache Lingerie specialises in D to K cup support with engineered construction for larger busts. Whether you want a seamless t-shirt bra that disappears under clothing, a comfortable sleep bra for overnight feeds, or a beautiful lace style that makes you feel like yourself again - it's here.

Many mums ask whether leakproof bras are worth it. If you experience let-downs between feeds, a leakproof nursing bra can replace disposable nursing pads entirely. We're expanding our range to include more leakproof options alongside our existing collection - check back soon or contact us for recommendations.

Shopping for nursing bras online in Australia shouldn't mean guessing your size. We offer fitting guidance for every brand we stock, and our sizing guide walks you through measuring at home. Most mums need 3-4 nursing bras to rotate through washing, plus a sleep bra. Buy in your third trimester when your breasts are close to their breastfeeding size, and choose styles with adjustable features so they grow with you through those early weeks of engorgement and supply changes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most women switch to a maternity bra during the second trimester when their regular bras start feeling tight across the band or cups. Your breasts typically grow 1-2 cup sizes during pregnancy as breast tissue develops and your ribcage expands. A wire-free maternity bra with stretchy cups and adjustable hook-and-eye closures accommodates these changes without needing to rebuy every few weeks.

Maternity bras are designed for pregnancy comfort - wire-free or flexiwire construction, stretchy cups, and expandable bands. Nursing bras have the same features plus drop-down clips at the straps so you can open the cup with one hand for breastfeeding. Many styles work for both stages. If you buy nursing bras in your third trimester, they'll carry you from late pregnancy straight through feeding.

Traditional underwire can press on developing milk ducts and increase the risk of blocked ducts or mastitis, particularly in the early weeks when your supply is establishing. Wire-free bras are the safest choice during pregnancy and breastfeeding. If you prefer more shape and lift, flexiwire technology provides structured support without rigid wires sitting against breast tissue.

Start with 3-4 nursing bras for daily rotation while washing. Include at least one
sleep bra for overnight feeds - a soft, pull-on style without clips is most comfortable.
If you plan to pump regularly, add a hands-free pumping bra. Many mums find they wear nursing bras well beyond breastfeeding for the comfort, so buying quality pays off.

Get fitted around 36-38 weeks of pregnancy, when your breasts are close to their breastfeeding size. Expect to go up another 1-2 cup sizes in the first week when your milk comes in. Choose bras with adjustable features and multi-fit sizing to handle this fluctuation. Our sizing guide shows you how to measure at home for each brand we stoc

All nursing bras support breastfeeding with easy feeding access. Breastfeeding support bras offer extra structure for larger busts or active use - wider bands, reinforced cups, and moisture-wicking fabric. If you're a D cup or above, or want a bra for exercise while breastfeeding, a support style gives you more hold and stability.
