Measure high above your arms above the breast to determine bra size. Then round your measurement up to the next even number. You will then measure the fullest point of your breasts. Subtract that number from the first number you got. If the difference is 2" you are a B cup, 3" you are a C cup, 4" you are a D cup and so on.

Above all your bra should be comfortable. At this point fitting your breastfeeding bra is not necessarily about looks. Though there are a variety of stylish breastfeeding bras for you to choose from. Convenience is also another issue that most women consider when choosing a breastfeeding bra.
