Butterfly Babies


Beautiful bras for bumps and breastfeeding.
At Butterfly Babies we provide a wide range of comfortable and supportive bras for maternity and breastfeeding as we believe that a good fitting bra is essential to help you look and feel great during this exciting time!
During pregnancy the bust can be the first thing that starts to expand, often before the tummy starts to show. As each breast can become between 300 - 500g heavier during pregnancy, it is important to ensure that they are adequately supported to avoid deformation and stretch marks and to remove tension in the neck and shoulders. Specialist maternity bras are designed to expand with the breasts, ensuring support whilst they are growing, and are made from fabrics selected for comfort to avoid irritating sensitive breast with wide softly padded straps to ease strain on the neck and shoulders. You should invest in a good quality maternity bra as soon as your existing bras no longer fit or from the 4th month if this is sooner.
Nursing bras should not be bought until the beginning of the 8th month of pregnancy as the breasts have usually stopped growing by then. Ideally you wait until you are around 38 weeks as this is when the baby starts to move lower in the pelvis and allows a more accurate fit of the under-bust band. A functional, well designed nursing bra is necessary to maintain the shape and support of the bust during the breastfeeding period. Our bras are made from skin-kind materials as breast and nipples can be extra sensitive at this time. Nursing bras should also provide easy and comfortable access to the breast for Mum and baby - a bra that puts pressure on the breast during feeding can cause blocked glands, leading potentially to Mastitis.
If you are expecting multiples, or are likely to deliver your baby early, please give us a call as you may need to be fitted earlier for your nursing bras.
Butterfly Babies was born in 2003 following my own experiences in in pregnancy and with my daughter Tiegan.
Here at Butterfly Babies we stock a wide range of maternity and nursing bras, as well as other products designed to help breastfeeding mums. I have breastfed both my two children and know from experience (as a 32H whilst nursing) how important a well fitting, stylish nursing bra is. We are pleased to offer bras from Royce, Anita, Bravado and HOTMilk that cater to both the smaller sizes (from 30 back and B cup) right up to the larger sizes (44+backs and over L cups) and everything in between! A local home bra fitting service is available in Cardiff or please email or phone for advice.
A good, comfortable sling or baby carrier can also help immensely with early parenting as your baby is kept safe and secure next to you, allowing you to get on with all the important jobs you need to do without worrying about them - such as making a cup of tea! A baby can not be spoiled by carrying them too much - evolution designed them to be kept close and they still have this need now. Once this need has been met, they will naturally move towards independence at their own pace, secure in the knowledge that the world is a safe place and you can always be relied on.
At Butterfly Babies, we provide a friendly and personal service. With so many options now available, providing one to one advice on all the products ensures that your choices are right for both your baby and your lifestyle.
