Breastfeeding essentials?

Question

I all! My hubby and I are expecting our first little one in April and im beginning to make lists of things we will need.  I definitely want to try my hardest to breastfeed and am wondering if any of you mommas have some advice or essentials that i should definitely get? TIA. 😊

Answer

A postpartum doula and connections with your local Le Leche League are the best support and tools for successful breastfeeding.

Answer

Boobs. Haha. 
Lanolin is a life saver. 
Pacifier. (Sounds strange) my baby likes to suck for comfort.  My boobs hurt so badly I didn't know what to do. The nurse in the hospital suggested it and it's a boob saver. 
Nursing tops are soo nice. I didn't think I needed them, but I definitely did.

Answer

Lanolin for your nipples, nursing bras, tops that give you easy access, nursing pads, and a cover or receiving blankets big enough to use as a cover.  
If you want to pump and use bottles, too, you will need a pump, storage bags, bottles.

Answer

Nipple latch just in case you have difficulty. Nipple latch was a huge help for me and made breastfeeding ten times easier.

Answer

Maternity bra took me two weeks to get one as didn't know how I'd go

Water bottle and snacks I always got thirsty and hungry breast feeding 
A pump to drain it after to help with supply and start an emergency stash I got sick and so did he we had to supplement with formula and I added a few cubes of my own milk  (was unexpected )
