When you need it
A hands-free pumping bra is useful from birth for anyone pumping regularly, whether exclusively or alongside nursing. It stays helpful through about 12 months or until you stop pumping, and it is especially handy once you are back at work.
What to look for
Check that the openings fit your pump flanges and hold them snugly without leaking or slipping. Adjustable straps, a zip or hook front and stretchy fabric help as your size changes over the months. Some styles work as both a nursing and pumping bra, so you can wear one all day instead of changing. Choose fabric that washes well, dries quickly and keeps its stretch.
Hands-Free Pumping Bra: common questions
- Do I need a hands-free pumping bra?
- If you pump more than once a day, it can be a real help, freeing your hands to eat, type or scroll. Occasional pumpers can hold the flanges by hand or cut small slits in an old sports bra.
- When does a baby need a hands-free pumping bra?
- As soon as you begin pumping regularly, whether that is from birth or when returning to work.
