Answer

You dont really need anything. I've heard pineapple juice helps but I dont know how true it is

Answer

Just you. I warn you, it bloody kills the first few times until your nipples get used to it so maybe some nipple shields and some nipple cream x

Answer

A pumping bra. I did not pack one and I had to sit there holding the pump for 25 mins. One nurse got some tube cloth that she cut holes
For the tubes for me, but get yourself a good pumping bra on amazon. I got one that adjusted with velcro on the back and zipper in the front. 
The hospital usually has a list of things they recommend you bring on their maternity/delivery page. The nipple cream, shields, nipple
protector shield (its like a cap with holes (for ventilation) you put on to protect your nipples if they get injured from feeding), and everything including parts Like the small bottles you can attach to the pump was given to me by the hospital. They used a fancy hospital grade Medela pump and my insurance provided me with a Spectra2.

Answer

I brought a nursing bra, the boppy, nipple cream, and my haakaa for catching the let down on the side baby wasn’t eating on. I definitely suggest bringing a haakaa because if your nipples crack and bleed you can still give baby breast milk you’ve collected without having to pump

Answer

Nursing pillow!!! So hard to get into a comfortable position with hospital pillows

Answer

I just brought a nursing bra and my boppy pillow . They had nipple cream for me at the hospital

Answer

A nursing bra and I choose to bring my own nipple cream just in case....didnt even end up needing it. My hospital provides breast pads, pillows, pumps, creams, nipple shields, and milk storage containers.
