- don’t be hard on yourself, give yourself and baby time to learn 
- drink lots of water
- keep a snack / water basket filled by wherever you’ll be feeding baby 
- find some good Netflix shows 
- don’t be afraid to ask for help, especially use your nurses while you’re in the hospital after birth - they’re amazing 
- a good nursing pillow, nursing bra & breast pads
- if your hospital has a breast feeding clinic use it! mine does a weighted feed, so it gives you reassurance that baby is getting enough milk
- nipple cream will be your best friend for the first couple of weeks 
- lasinoh makes freezable/warmable breast pads, they’re amazing too
