Breastfeeding Basket

In order to make breastfeeding easier, I've made a breastfeeding basket with all of the necessities in one place.  Most of the items are ones that I talked about registering for here.

Here's what my basket includes:
  • Cloth Diapers - I'll be using these in place of burp cloths for anything that needs to be wiped or cleaned up.  
  • Baby wipes - for when your burp cloths don't cut it
  • Bamboobies Disposable Nursing pads - place these in your nursing bra or tank to catch any leaks and to prevent whatever cream you're using from staining your tops.
  • Lansinoh Lanolin Breast Cream:  use this to coat the flanges on your pump before pumping to provide some lubrication.  This protects your breasts and makes pumping more comfortable.
  • Earth Mama Angel Baby Nipple Balm:  apply on a daily basis to your breasts to keep them hydrated and soothed.
  • Lansinoh Soothies Gel Pads:  help to soothe and heal sore nipples.  They are supposed to provide instant relief and are recommended especially for when you are first starting to breastfeed.  
  • Philips Avent Thermal Gel Pads:  hot and cold packs for your boobs.  You can warm them to increase milk slow or cool them to provide relief from engorgement.  I registered for 2 sets, so that I can have one heating or cooling while I am using the other.  
  • Pacifier
  • Toy/rattle
  • Chapstick
  • Hair ties
  • Snacks
  • Water bottles
  • Book/magazine
