I'm looking for a nursing bra that is comfortable to sleep in. I would like a different one than I use for the daytime.
I just got some from Motherhood Maternity...they had 2 different sports bra type styles that are really comfortable (plus size). I think they are still having a sale where if you buy 3 bras you get 1 free :)
I used to wear the Barely There brand bra for sleeping. There's minimal support. They are made with that super stretchy micro fiber material. They are perfectly soft for sleeping in and keeping the nursing pads on at night if you are still needing them.
That was 5 years ago and I still see similar ones in the bra department.
Loved the Motherhood slip over your head crisscross cotton ones. Also nursing tanks with a built in bra -the kind that have hook straps and are drop cups were just as comfy - I went a size larger on them since I tended to fill up a lot at night.
I just bought tank tops with built in bras, and some nursing tank tops. This way you are free from a bra at night but still have the support that you need. So much more comfortable then any find of bra!
Medela make a sleep bra and they sell it at Babies R US by the breastpumps. Also target has nursing tank tops as well. I used both of them but I really like the Medela one. I even wore it after I was done nursing just to feel free.
yeah go to motherhood they have ones that are cotton and basically look like a sports bra but it criss crosses in the front for easy nursing. They are way more comfortable to sleep in but hold your nursing pads in place.
I have a medela sleep bra, very comfy.

Only concern is the elastic under bust, it has a tendency to snag easily when washed with velcro or similar rough surfaced items. Other than that I love mine and plan to buy more for our next baby.
If you're a side sleeper, you'll want one with hooks, not just crosses over. I found mine at Walmart, 2 for $12-13. They feel great and don'r have underwire.
I am very large chested, which worsens by a lot when prego and nursing, so I needed comfort and support. I got the Medella one from Babies R Us and I really liked it. Very comfortable but kept things contained. It was a sports bra type with hooks to lower each cup side.
I had a medela one made specifically for nighttime. It was wonderful. There were no hooks, you just moved the cup over to feed. I loved it.
I use to use a sports bra that was a nursing bra at night. I got them at the Motherhood store.
At night I just sleep in a nursing tank top that has the built in bra. I have bought them at walmart and target, they run about $13, very comfortable and all you have to do is unlatch the strap and you can easily feed. Good support too.
I got one at the motherhood store. Very comfortable. HTH
I got a very good bra from http://www.favorsandflavors.net It was only $17 and you can wear it night or day. It's designed to make it easy for mom to breastfeed or pump.
I got some great ones and Motherhood. They are like jersey material and then just criss cross across your breasts, offer comfortable light support and are just beyond comfy :) I actually still wear them sometimes when I am just up cooking breakfast and don't want the girls all over the place!
