Its good to know you have support from people who you know and are familiar with and that you trust.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01062056285040676205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628310265640289047.post-84405505748368869242012-06-13T10:26:16.396-07:002012-06-13T10:26:16.396-07:00I love my monkey mama nursing necklace, an absolut...I love my monkey mama nursing necklace, an absolute must for wandering hands as my little man stops being so little!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628310265640289047.post-67990400992019989472012-06-13T09:22:47.576-07:002012-06-13T09:22:47.576-07:00I adore my little lambs bamboo breast pads, defini...I adore my little lambs bamboo breast pads, definitely my best nursing buy so farAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628310265640289047.post-48156948533027570712012-06-13T02:40:57.351-07:002012-06-13T02:40:57.351-07:00I did use nursing pads for the first couple of mon...I did use nursing pads for the first couple of months (organic cotton washable) but didn't need them after that.<br /><br />I bought a couple of nursing bras but then didn't use them as it was so much faff to unhook the cup all the time rather than just wearing a camisole. And no nursing tops here either, I concur with the buttoned/zipped/V-neck top options.<br /><br />I do have an electric pump (I don't intend to leave my daughter but in case of mastitis or engorgement or making breastmilk ice lollies!) but haven't used it yet (at 15 months). Don't think I could pump sufficient quantities now anyway, even with a full supply for direct feeding. I think I might donate it to the local health centre if they can use it.<br /><br />In conclusion, my essentials for breastfeeding are:<br />-Breasts(!)<br />-Good advice - so many health professionals are misinformed, a lactation consultant or breastfeeding counsellor are better than most health visitors/doctors/midwives<br />-Sling (a stretchy wrap for the first few months, and a soft structured carrier for later)<br />-BreastpadsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
