Breastfeeding Essentials List

Breastfeeding - there are a million and one opinions on what works, what's best, what helps increase milk supply, and and and and and... It's quite frankly overwhelming and frustrating with all the opinions people have with breastfeeding. This list is not going to preach about what you need to be the ultimate queen of breastfeeding, what it will do is attempt to give you a list of products that make the whole thing more comfortable, less daunting and more approachable. It's certainly not the easiest thing to do, and requires commitment, time and effort. The below products have made things a little easier, and I hope they help you too, everything is linked below:

• Nursing Pads - for leaking milk
• Lanisoh Nipple Cream - to keep nipples nice and soft
• A basket to keep all your go-to breastfeeding items by your bed (KEY!)
• Tons of water!
• Supplements - the ones commonly recommended are Upsring Milkflow, Motherlove More Milk Plus, Organic India: Moringa
• Lactation Tea: Organic Mother's Milk
