  • Avoid underwire bras or any bra that’s tight and puts pressure on your breasts. Tight bras and underwires can cause plugged milk ducts or mastitis. Wait till you finish breastfeeding


  • I would wait till you’re not breastfeeding anymore.


  • I think the risk is the pressure of the underwire contributing to blockages/mastitis. I’d maybe look for a Flexi-wire bra which should give you the support but is supposedly better for pressure etc


  • I’ve never heard the no under wire bras while breast feeding. I never used them anyway, I used breast feeding bras and I don’t remember them having wires


  • I would !
