Three Questions.
1) I've heard Maxi pads are the best... but which brands have you ladies found are the best for postpartum bleeding? With wings or without? I've never used pads before so I'm clueless on whats the best and what will work the best.
2) What all did you wash of babies before handling baby around the items? I've thought of crib/bassinet sheets, towels, wash clothes, blankets, and clothes of course... but are bibs, burp clothes, or anything else I'm forgetting necessary? What all did you wash?
3) Hi breastfeeding (or pumping) mommas. When you pump your milk what do you use to store it in? Do you get special containers or do you use something else?
Thanks everyone! We have a little less than a week before baby gets here, so I'm trying to get these last minute things worked out before her arrival.

Comments
1)i never use pads either, i hate them...but i would suggest the ones with wings because it could get messy at first... especially for us who normally don't wear them lol i would buy the super thin ones that was like the ultra protections and super long because alot of blood was coming out at first.
2)i washed everything. everything u mentioned..the bibs burp cloths, socks everything.
2:i washed everything u mentioned!!! everything!!! including bouncy seat fabric.. everything!! lol
3: they make these lil containers wirh lids for bfing but u could probably use anything with a tight lid..
2. Everything got washed in dreft before using it on baby.
3. I bought ziplock type storage bags made just for breast milk. They can be frozen and have where you can write the date and ounces on the bags before storing. I just used the lasholin brand from walmart.
2. I washed EVERYTHING she was going to cone in contact with since I didn't know how sensitive her skin was gonna be or what might have been on the stuff.
3. They make milk storage bags that you can pour the milk in to freeze or put in the fridge they are pretty much like zip lock bags and you can put the date and how many ounces.
