Nursing Bra Feeding Slings Explained
Ever wondered about the difference between A-frame and Side Sling nursing bras? We’ve summarised each style below and included tips on how they should fit.
A-Frame
Sits across the top of the breasts like a capital "A," providing greater coverage and more support when the cup is dropped down for breastfeeding.
Fit Tips:
- ✅ Ensure the A-frame sits comfortably on the breast and doesn’t cut in at the top.
- ✅ Check the inside opening is large enough to feed back through.
Side Sling
Sits on the outer side of the breasts, allowing for closer skin-to-skin contact with your baby while feeding.
Fit Tips:
- ✅ Ensure the side sling sits comfortably on the outer breast and doesn’t dig in or ride too high under the arm.
- ✅ Check that the sling doesn’t obstruct the areola or nipple.
