Nursing accessories for beginning breastfeeding
The first few days with your baby are usually quite hectic, so it pays to prepare. Whether you’re home soon after the birth or have to stay in hospital for a few days, there’s some kit you may want to have ready:
nursing bras, night bras and nursing vest tops
nursing nightdresses or pyjamas
breastfeeding pillow
disposable or washable nursing pads
muslin cloths
nipple cream for sore nipples
nipple formers if you have flat or inverted nipples
a book about breastfeeding
contact details of a lactation consultant, breastfeeding specialist, or helpline
If breastfeeding doesn’t quite go to plan, a lactation consultant or breastfeeding specialist may advise you to use the following:
Nipple shields if your baby struggles to latch on, or possibly if you’re suffering from sore nipples. In general nipple shields should be considered a short-term solution. If problems or pain occur, consult your lactation consultant or breastfeeding specialist.
A breast pump to relive engorgement and/or help establish your milk supply.
Some mums also find that cooling hydrogel pads can be soothing in the days following the birth, especially when their milk starts coming in.
