Not sure if i am posting this in the right place but...
I am quite small chested - I wear a 12A sometimes B - and am breastfeeding. I was just wondering if anyone has any ideas on where to buy maternity bras. I am having real difficulty finding ones that fit - everywhere that I have looked seems to start at a C or D cup. There has been the odd place that has had a B cup but mostly these don't fit. I have three bras that I bought when bubs was born which fitted nicely but my boobs seem to have settled down a bit and hence shrunk back to their normal size of an A cup, so these are now a little on the big size.
Normally I would wear T-shirt bras or ones with a bit of padding because of my small size but I can't seem to find these anywhere. Has anyone had a similar problem and been able to find a decent bra that doesn't cost the earth?:fingerscrossed:

Try the Triumph link http://www.bubhub.com.au/infomaternitybrafitting.shtml
I have Triumph maternity bras and they are very comfy.

you will definatel have a good fit in a new beginnings bra, they are generally a small fit I am a 12b and wear a large, they don't have underwires so are extra comfy and I bought the drop cup bra for feeding and I am wearing it now whilst pregnant. So it doubles as a nursing bra and pregnancy support bra. You can find them online at www.sexymama.com.au Goodluck.

Hi! I had exactly the same problem. Before having my daughter I was a AA cup - flat as a tack! Then I went up to an A and only reached a B cup when engorged. I bought a 12B lacey maternity bra from Target, and a nice sporty Berlei bra (size 12B) from Bras 'n' Things. The one from Target was a cheapy, but I think the Berlei one was $25. Both are too big for me now I've stopped breastfeeding, but I found that they fitted well if I used washable breastpads (it was like extra padding!). I searched high and low for a 12A maternity bra but no one makes them. I bought a couple of crop tops as well and these were really comfy to wear to bed. Breastpads became my best friend... I recommend the Avent washable ones.
It's a sad fact of life that us small chested women miss out on good bras... just as really large women struggle to find bras that fit. But isn't it amazing how small boobs still produce oodles of milk? :D
Good luck in your search... hope you have more luck than I did.
