How should nursing bras fit?

Nursing bras should fit firmly around your breasts, but should not feel tight. You don't want the bands to dig into your skin. Instead, they should comfortably secure your breasts with padding for everyday wear. You may also want to wear nursing bras to bed at night in case of leakage from lactating, so your nursing bra should be comfortable enough to sleep in.

How do I know which size nursing bra to purchase?

Try going up one cup size and one band size from your regular bra size when purchasing a nursing bra. If you normally wear a 34B, try a 36C for your nursing bra. Your breasts may grow during pregnancy and when you're lactating, so you need the extra room.

How often should I wash my nursing bra?

Wash your nursing bras after two wears and sooner if you've experienced leakage or spilled milk on the bra. For this reason, it's a good idea to keep several on hand.
