Loading ...Breastfeeding is a wonderful way to bond with your baby while providing him with excellent nutrition. Here are a few essential items you will need to make life easier.
1. Nursing bra: Buy 2-3 nursing bras that you can unfasten with one hand.
2. Breast pads: You will need to have a box of disposable pads or a couple of reusable pads handy to stop the leaks.
3. Nursing tank: A tank that allows easy access for you and your baby makes nursing in public less of a fuss.
4. Nursing pillow: Pick up a pillow, such as the Boppy pillow, that will position your baby in a way that takes the stress off of your arms.
5. Nursing shawl: It is nice to have some coverage when you are nursing in public to keep prying eyes away and to shield baby from the light and noises. A good one to try is the Bebe au Lait nursing covers.
6. Lanolin: Pick up a tube of all-natural lanolin, such as found in Lansinoh, to ease sore nipples during the early stages of breastfeeding.
