Breastfeeding supplies
While there are lots of breastfeeding supplies on the market, the only necessary supplies are the lactating mother and the suckling infant. This is what makes breastfeeding convenient – it does not require a lot of supplies to feed a baby at the breast. Milk flows from mother to child. It is the most natural thing in the world.
Even though it is the most natural thing in the world, there are a few items that make breastfeeding more comfortable and convenient. For example, nursing pillows (or any pillow really) can bring the baby to a comfortable height to give the mother’s arms a rest. This can be especially useful for moms recovering from a c-section. It also allows the mom to relax a little more.
Nursing pads are available in reusable and disposable options. These pads prevent leaking breast milk from wetting clothing. Other breastfeeding supplies include burp cloths to catch or wipe baby’s spit up. Many moms appreciate having their necessities gathered in a convenient tote or basket next to them while they breastfeed their baby. For many nursing moms, this basket of breastfeeding supplies might include a water bottle for mom, extra nursing pads, a phone, a book, diapers, wipes and burp clothes. Having these supplies handy makes breastfeeding much more relaxed for the mother.
