With the combination of being a breastfeeding mom as well as a post partum nurse, the fact that August is National Breastfeeding month seems to have a little bit more of a personal significance this time around. Because of these two rolls, I wanted to post some of the items that I just love that have made things so much easier for us.
I love any of the nursing bras by Bravado!
I love Madela pumps (I have an older version of this one). We use Madela pumps at our hospital.
The Hooter Hider nursing cover (This is great because of the built in wire so that you can see what the heck is happening...)
The Boppy pillow
(I can also prop Ryder up after a feeding on this which you can't do on some of the other support pillows...)
We use this cream at our hospital and it can make such a difference to prevent any breakdown.
The biggest tip is that I had our lactation specialists number handy so that I could either make an apt to see them or that they could walk me through things over the phone or they could just answer questions that I had.
For those that breastfeed, if there is an item that you have loved, I would love to know. I am always looking for things to make life a little easier...
(for me and our patients...)
