5 Essentials For Nursing Moms

1) A Nursing Bra 

Wearing a nursing bra is significantly better than just buying a regular bra in a larger size because they were designed to maximize comfort and accessibility so you don't have to miss a beat to remove or unhook your bra. Other nursing bras feature fold-down cups that unclip from the bra's strap. Foldover nursing bras are designed to simply pull to the side in order to allow your baby to nurse. It's important to look for a style that you feel comfortable maneuvering one-handed!

2) A Nipple Balm

It's not uncommon for nursing moms to experience dry, cracked nipples. The feeling is similar to chapped lips and is due to exposure to baby's saliva during nursing. For relief, it's important to choose an ointment that's safe for baby so you don't have to worry about washing it off before feeding baby again.

3) Nursing Pads 

New nursing moms can experience leakage, especially until they establish a consistent feeding schedule with their newborn baby. Until you find out, it's a good idea to use nursing pads to avoid any embarrassing leaks out in public and during the night so you don't wake up wet when you need your much needed sleep. At Ella Bella, we have a variety of washable, reusable pads made from hemp, silicone and bamboo...

4) A Nursing Cover or Blanket

If you want to discreetly breastfeed your new baby, you'll appreciate having some type of nursing cover until you get the hang of it. Once you start feeling more comfortable you may not feel the need to constantly check on what your new baby is doing underneath your nursing cover, so then we suggest transitioning to a lighter scarf or muslin blanket.

5) A Nursing Pillow

A nursing pillow is designed to help position your baby during breastfeeding. It helps to support baby's weight and is a welcome helper as your baby gets heavier to reduce strain on your arms and back. It fits around your waist and shapes to your body so baby rests on top of the pillow, facing you to nurse.

.
Having the right products does help make your time breastfeeding much more comfortable and less stressful. But one of the top reasons new moms stop nursing their new babies - is that they don't have enough support. First time moms often struggle with breastfeeding and their frustration can lead to an uncomfortable and short-lived breastfeeding experience. Don't give up! If your post-partum nurse does not offer you any breastfeeding assistance following your birth, after your delivery ask if there is a lactation consultant on the hospital floor who can assist you in learning proper breastfeeding techniques or make an appointment with a breastfeeding expert!

    My ex-husband and I had always managed to stay friendly after our divorce in February 2017. But I always wanted to get back together with him, All it took was a visit to this spell casters website last December, because my dream was to start a new year with my husband, and live happily with him.. This spell caster requested a specific love spell for me and my husband, and I accepted it. And this powerful spell caster began to work his magic. And 48 hours after this spell caster worked for me, my husband called me back for us to be together again, and he was remorseful for all his wrong deeds. My spell is working because guess what: My “husband” is back and we are making preparations on how to go to court and withdraw our divorce papers ASAP. This is nothing short of a miracle. Thank you Dr Emu for your powerful spells. Words are not enough.
