There are so many nursing bras out there that are designed for breastfeeding and pumping moms. It can be difficult to know which ones to get and which ones will be right for your baby feeding journey. I’ve tested many different nursing and pumping bras, and recently I tried out the new Sublime Hands-Free Pumping & Nursing Bra from Kindred Bravely. Let me just tell you, this bra is changing the nursing and pumping game for all milky mamas.
A Nursing/Pumping Bra for Every Milk Maker
Moms are multitaskers. (That’s an understatement.) We are doing all the things all the time while simultaneously holding a baby. And most moms, even if they are exclusively breastfeeding their babies, also pump from time to time. Or all the time, like I was. I pumped every night between 1 a.m. and 4 a.m. for seven solid months every. single. night. to help keep up my milk production and build a good milk stash for times when I needed to leave the house and have someone else feed the baby. I then exclusively pumped for a while too. Throughout the day and night I would switch from my nursing sleep bra to my sublime nursing bra to my hands-free pumping bra several times over and over. They were all great bras, but I wished that there was a nursing bra that had it all to make the perfect bra for all of my baby feeding needs. That would have been gold for my liquid gold. Luckily for all of you, Kindred Bravely did just that with their new Sublime Hands-Free Pumping & Nursing Bra. I had to share it with all of you!
The Sublime Hands-Free Pumping & Nursing Bra
This bra is an all-in-one nursing & pumping bra that combines the best features of your favorite nursing bra and hands-free pumping bra. Say farewell to switching out bras (at home, in your office, in your car, or in the bathroom) throughout the day to be able to switch from pump hands-free to nursing and back. Now you can say hello to comfortably nursing your baby or pumping (or doing both at the same time!) hands-free all while wearing the same bra! Yes, please!
How Does it Work?
The Sublime Hands-Free Pumping & Nursing Bra design features a unique dual clip so that you can wear the same bra all day (or all night) long.
You won’t have to worry about wardrobe changes or deal with zippers or Velcro with this baby. Basically, it’s a time saver, and it supports you (literally and figuratively) for every type of feeding–bottle or boob.
When you unlatch the bottom clip, it gives you exposure to the hands-free pumping part of your bra. This layer will securely hold your pumping parts while you are pumping.

The top clip once unclipped works like your nursing bra. It gives you full skin-to-skin contact with your little one for a quick and easy nursing session.
The Fit
I really like how this bra stretches well and is so soft and comfortable. I can tell that Kindred Bravely used quality materials (as they always do!) because the fabric and claps are great and it’s easy to clip and unclip one-handed. It comfortably stretches around our evolving postpartum bodies and can also be worn during pregnancy!

Additionally, this bra securely holds pump parts and fits all standard pump flanges, including Medela, Spectra, Lasinoh, Freemie, and more. You’ll never have to worry about spilled milk again!
How to Properly Insert Your Flanges
If you have a silicone breast pump, all you have to do is fold the flange together and push it through the center opening in the bra. It is wide enough to provide good support to a standard 24 mm flange and even 30 mm flange. Just be careful as you are removing it from the bra so you don’t spill.
If you have a breast pump with non-removable flanges, stretch the opening hole in the bra as you slide in one side of the flange then the other.
If your pump has removable flanges, then you can clip down your nursing bra, place the flange on your nipple and then clip up the first layer support bra sliding through the backend of the flange to hold.
Overall
This is a must-have piece for any postpartum mom since it gives you the ability to pump and/or nurse at any time, day or night. Save your time (and your money) with this bra–it will support you throughout your breastfeeding and pumping journey.
