Essential Products You Need When Breastfeeding Your Baby Breastfeeding the baby in the most natural, intimate and heart-felt thing ever. One doesn’t need anything more than breasts and the baby. Millions of mothers around the globe have been doing it, are doing and will be doing it. But it's not always easy to nurse your baby exclusively and a little help never hurts anyone right? I’m talking about physical support rendered by family members, partners and friends and also the breastfeeding accessories and essential products that can make the life of the mother a tad bit easier, simpler and comfortable. There are many products in the market that claim to be life-saving, game-changing and life-altering but they are what we call clickbait and nothing more than that. Some of the products just make breastfeeding less complicated and more comfortable. Some products like best supplements for lactation make the quality and flow of milk better and trust me you’ll need things that you never imagined you would even think about buying. Breastfeeding runs into a plethora of problems like leaky breast, tired back, sore nipples due poor latch or uncomfortable clothing. But new moms are lucky as they get a wide variety of products to choose from which can make their journey very easy, so let’s check out these products one by one so that you can ultimately decide if you need them in your life or you can do without them. 1.Breast Pump Now any nursing mother can vouch for the importance of a breast pump. This product is a true lifesaver and helps in multiple ways. Breast pumps basically remove breast milk from the mother’s breasts but that act can make the life of the mother easier in many ways. Firstly, the removed milk can be stored in bottles for the baby to drink when the mother is away. Secondly it saves the mother from breast engorgement, clogged ducts, mastitis and shoulder and neck pain due to breast heaviness. Lastly but not the least, it is also a milk supply booster, when the previous milk is removed the mother’s brain gets to fill the breast again which increases milk supply. 2.Nipple Cream, Ointment and Lotion Sore, cracked, dry or even bleeding nipples are part and parcel of this whole motherhood thing. But having a quick fix healing cream, ointment or lotion is always great. As you know, even if you have cracked, sore or even bleeding nipple you have to nurse your baby because not nursing the baby will make matters even worse with engorgement, mastitis or clogging of milk ducts. So, find yourself a lanolin-based nipple cream or any natural cream but do keep them handy. 3.Breastfeeding Pillow A big, fluffy, soft and comfortable breastfeeding pillow has various benefits. Firstly, it can relieve the mother from actually holding the baby in her arms the entire nursing time, she can just lay the little one on the breastfeeding pillow and prop it up with the
arm or legs. This pillow is especially great for moms with large breasts, moms who are nursing twins, moms who have a C-section or for just any tired, drained mom. Nursing pillows can reduce the strain on the neck, back, arms and shoulder and make the nursing easy. Breastfeeding pillows can be used to support the baby or support the mother's own body. 4.A Good, Supporting Nursing Bra During your breastfeeding journey, you’ll feel sometimes your breast is extra firm, sometimes very soft, sometimes extremely sensitive and sometimes heavy. For all these varying possibilities, every nursing mother needs a support of a good bra. A good nursing bra will help in preventing leaks, will support your breast and the best part is that they are designed in a way that provides easy access to the breast without bunching of the fabric on top of the breasts. Just be mindful that the nursing bra is the right size, nothing too tight or you’ll have plugged milk ducts and nothing to lose that your breast sag and lose shape. 5.Nursing Pads Nursing pads are disc-shaped pads that are placed inside the nursing bra to prevent any unwanted and unexpected leakage to cause any embarrassing situation. Most mothers at one point of the time or other come across the situation where their breasts start to leak, ruining their clothes and making them self-conscious. Nursing bras and nursing pads are a winning combination which will make the mothers less cognizant and more productive. Usually, leaky breasts are a problem of initial days but for some it can last the entire breastfeeding process. Ending Lines Breastfeeding is a huge commitment in itself, making it easy for the mothers is an absolute duty of every member of the family. So, make sure you provide the mother with all the above mentioned things or at least make her aware of the options out there so that she can make her life easier.
