  • A boppy pillow! My daughter naps in it and it helps when feeding too
  • Definitely gas drops! And bring them to the hospital with you because they won't give you any. And if your breast feeding get a boppy and lansinoh lanolin cream and those gel pads that you can freeze and stick and your bra. They're amazingggg. You can also stick your tube of lanolin in the fridge so it's cold :)

  • My son will only sleep in his crib with his swaddling thing the hospital gave us
  • Thanks so much ladies! This is all helpful!
  • The things I use every day are:

    Diapers
    Wipes
    Cream (not a lot really since I'm bfing)
    Boppy is a MUST HAVE
    Receiving blankets
    - 1 for burping (even though I have burp cloths)
    - 1 to cover her naked (only diaper) body while feeding
    Breast pads
    Lanolin cream
    Nose cleaner thing (they sneeze a lot, its normal!)
  • I have a whole list of things I can put down but when I had my daughter the one thing that really came in handy was clothe diapers. She used to spit up so much that she would go through so many bibs, it made no sense. Those were a life saver.
