Ok so I plan on breastfeeding if all goes well & he latches & all that great stuff. I do have a pump. But can you ladies give me a list of what I need. I'm the first in my family to breastfeed so nobody's of help. Please & thanks I'd greatly appreciate it :)

    def need some lanolin cream.........(LAsinoh brand) worked best for me, its for dry cracked nipples......breast pads--->the disposable ones worked best fro me bc they actually retained my leaking boobs, the cloth washable ones didnt do crap for me lol, nursing bras help for easy access especially when out n about lol but hun it all depends on u---u mihg not get the dry cracked nipples, u might not leak out, and u might not want to breast feed in public (maybe go to your car or a room i dunno or pump somewhere) it all depends on you and how you do...take it easy then youll know what you need....Just DONT give up!

    A nursing bra n pads for sure. Also I'm a ftm n breast feeding may not b as easy as you think n having someone who can b there for u when it gets hard bc I wanted to give up originally I thought it would b a peace of cake.

    My suggestion is to get at least one or two cans of formula, just in case. I never even dreamed of supplementing with formula.... but she's mainly eating formula, and I'm supplementing with breastmilk. It sucks. :(( But the can I got from my shower, and the one can that came in the gerber diaper bag the hospital gave me literally saved my hide on that front. The hospital only gave me 8 (3 oz) premades.
