Nursing

Breastfeeding your newborn baby can be daunting if you have never done it before. This is why it is important that you familiarize yourself with baby nursing and all the nursing accessories you will need to make the breastfeeding experience better for you and your child. Some of the first items to purchase are nursing bras. Nursing bras are essential to have if you are currently breastfeeding a child or about to start doing so. They are made specifically to cater to the needs of a nursing mother. They are made from lightweight and stretchable materials so they can accommodate your breast size when it fluctuates due to the production of milk.

Breastfeeding pads are another item that will certainly come in handy while you are nursing. These pads are made specifically to absorb any milk that may leak throughout the day. You place the pad over your breast, and if some milk leaks out, the pad will absorb it before it ruins your outfit. Another useful tool that you should consider acquiring is a breast pump. Breast pumps are devices that are used to collect milk from your breasts in order to store them in breast pump bags or other containers for later use. You can extract milk from your breast without a breast pump, but the pump will make it easier and quicker than doing it by hand. The different types of breast pumps include manual breast pumps, battery-operated breast pumps, and electric breast pumps. Medela® and Spectra® are two brands at buybuy BABY that sell exceptional breast pumps.

Obtaining some nursing pillows would also be wise, as they give your neck, back, and shoulders the proper support that you will need. Breastfeeding your baby multiple times a day for extended periods can really hurt your neck and back if you aren't sitting in a comfortable position. If you gave birth to your child via C-section, a nursing pillow can help make sure your C-section scars heal properly and quickly. Nursing pillows can also help your baby feed more easily, which is great for avoiding pain during breastfeeding sessions. Boppy® is a great brand at buybuy BABY that offers high-quality nursing pillows and nursing covers.

If you'd rather breastfeed your child the old-fashioned way, then maybe a nursing cover would be the right accessory for you. This is a portable cover made specifically to conceal your breast while you are breastfeeding in public. There are even nursing covers that can be also used as car seat covers, high chair covers, shopping cart covers, and more. You'll find many different colors and styles of nursing covers to choose from at buybuy BABY, and if your online order totals more than $49, you will be eligible for free shipping.
