STM: essentials for nursing?

curlycasey

Hi ladies,

I'm a STM whose first time nursing ended miserably short (only one week). I'm getting geared up for #2 and wanted to know what were the absolutely essential items you had on hand that helped with nursing after delivery. Here's what I have already:

Nursing Pads, nipple cream, soothie gel pads, a book on bfd'ing (Womanly Art of BF'd), Boppy pillow, planning on getting a nursing cover, tanks, etc within the week. I know I'll be getting new nursing bras after milk comes in, as well.

I'm not planning on pumping until my milk supply is fully established (I was told it's best not to pump for two months or so--when I go back to work), so I don't have a pump yet, or bags, etc. I do have bottles from DS1 that I'm not planning on getting "prepped" until then.

 Any other items I'm missing? Thanks in advance!
