Nursing Bras Australia - Comfortable Support for Breastfeeding Mums
Finding the right nursing bra can make a real difference to your breastfeeding journey. Whether you are in the early newborn days or nursing a toddler, a well-fitted bra gives you the support, comfort, and easy access you need around the clock. At Peekaboo Baby we stock a carefully selected range of nursing bras designed for Australian mums - from seamless sleep bras for overnight feeds to structured everyday styles that keep up with a busy schedule. Pair yours with our nursing tops and nursing covers for a complete breastfeeding wardrobe.
Our nursing bra range includes soft-cup styles perfect for postpartum days when tenderness is at its peak, plus underwire options with nursing clips for mums who prefer more structure once supply is established. Whether you are heading back to work or simply want to feel good at home, we have options to suit every stage. Browse the full nursing clothes collection for more breastfeeding-friendly essentials, and explore our maternity clothing range for bump-to-baby wardrobe staples.
What to look for in a nursing bra
- Drop-down cups - Easy one-handed clip release means you can feed quickly and discreetly without fuss, especially important during night feeds.
- Soft, breathable fabric - Look for cotton or bamboo blends that feel gentle against sensitive skin and help regulate temperature.
- Correct sizing - Your bra size changes significantly during pregnancy and postpartum. Aim to be fitted in the third trimester or shortly after birth.
- Adjustable straps and band - Allows the fit to adapt as your body changes through pregnancy, birth, and weaning.
- Enough support - Choose underwire-free styles in the early weeks to avoid blocked ducts, then transition to structured styles once supply settles.
- Sleep vs day styles - A seamless soft-cup bra for night feeds and a more supportive style for daytime gives you versatility through all stages.

Nursing Bras - Frequently Asked Questions
Most experts suggest buying your nursing bras in the third trimester - around 36 weeks - when your size is relatively stable. Buy two or three bras that fit well then, and expect to adjust sizing again in the first few weeks after your milk comes in.
In the early weeks of breastfeeding, underwire is generally not recommended as it can put pressure on milk ducts and increase the risk of mastitis. Soft-cup or wire-free styles are ideal for the first 6-8 weeks. Once supply regulates, many mums comfortably switch back to underwire styles.
Most breastfeeding mums find three to five bras is a practical number - enough to rotate through washing cycles. Include at least one sleep bra for night feeds, one or two everyday styles, and one spare for busy days.
You can, but it is not ideal. Regular bras do not have feeding clips, making feeds awkward, and ill-fitting bras can restrict milk flow. A properly fitted nursing bra makes feeding easier for both you and your baby.
Your bra size typically increases by one to two cup sizes and sometimes a band size during pregnancy and breastfeeding. We recommend getting professionally fitted, or using an online measurement guide, rather than simply sizing up from your pre-pregnancy size.
