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.
