Here is what wikipedia deams the history of the nursing bra.

The first US patent for a bra was granted in 1913 to Mary Phelps Jacob. Her invention is most widely recognized as the predecessor to the modern bra and consequently the nursing bra. Building on Jacob’s design, Ida Rosenthal and Enid Bisset, co-founders of Maidenform in 1922, designed the first modern bras. Maidenform’s innovations included adjustable straps, maternity bras, nursing bras and standardized cup sizes.

Many bra manufacturers have since built on Maidenform’s designs, aiming to improve fashionable and functionality of nursing bras.
