A nursing bra is a type of bra designed specifically for breastfeeding mothers. It allows easy access to the breasts while providing support and coverage, making it easier for new moms to nurse their babies without having to remove their entire bras. The cups of a nursing bra typically have flaps or buttons that can be opened to reveal the nipple area when needed. Many nursing bras also come with detachable pads that provide extra support and coverage for larger breasts, making them ideal for new moms who are still adjusting to their postpartum bodies.
