I have to agree! However, not all nursing bras have only a little
window. I've been using & recommending a soft, very stretchy bra in
which the cup drops away completely for feeding. (we're not supposed to
mention brand names here, are we?) It also accommodates large changes
in breast volume without causing discomfort. Unfortunately it doesn't
seem to be available retail in Australia - all the store-sold bras have
the circle/flap arrangement.
