Sherry asked about sources for bras in larger sizes. Since many women,
nursing or not, wear the wrong size bra, the mother might check out the
fitting instructions at the Medela site:

The LLL members magazine "New Beginnings" has ads for mail-order
companies that offer bras in large sizes, such as Bravado,
DecentExposures, 1-800-505-4949 and The Motherwear Catalog,
1-800-633-0303, which says it carries up to size 50K.

Since it can be awkward helping very large-breasted women with
positioning and latch, here are a couple Web references I found helpful:

-- it's not by an LC, but by a mother offering practical hints --

and an LLL article:
