This is my advise

-work with a lactation specialist before leaving hospital

-have a support person at home. Especially when you first get home and during your lo cluster feeding time. It helps to have someone to get you a drink and snacks. Also to do the diaper changes and burping so you can stretch and go potty.

-have easy one hand snacks and meals. You don’t know how often my Lo gets hungry when it is dinner time.

-a comfortable place to feed. Imagine sitting for long periods with a baby in your arms.

-have a support pillow of some kind. It helps to have something to support your arm.

-get a bra that you can latch/unlatch with one hand. I have a few that I can’t and I don’t use often as often since I often have one arm full of baby.

-breast pads. I love my reusable ones.

-cream for your breasts

-a way to track what breast to feed off of next. I use a hair band on my wrist, I can look at my wrist or even feel in the dark, it is easy to switch the band when feeding from one to the other. Apps are great but a pain if you have a screaming baby and you have to navigate to the tracker. The reminder on your bra is a pain too since you can’t setup baby without looking at your boobs.

-if you are going back to work a good pump and storage. I would look in to getting freeme cups (they have their own pump but also have some cups that work with others) they allow more privacy when pumping since they fit under your shirt. I got a power supply that plugs into my car and I can pump while driving.

Also good storage system.

Is it normal for bbt to stay up after ovulation?
