Nursing mama

I’m going to try and start a new series of registry must haves. First up on the list is for the Nursing Mama.

•  Nipple cream – I have tried 3 different kinds and my favorites are the Lansinoh brand and the Earth Mama. The Lansinoh goes on thick but it really keeps soothing, the medela brand goes on smoother but doesn’t soothe as well as the Lansinoh. The Earth Mama is a natural option, it’s a little grainy but works really well
•  Nursing pads – My favorites are the Lily pads. They are pretty expensive but they last forever. I would recommend buying 2 sets because they can start to smell. I once had 2 sets until Karl ate one pair. So now I use the Lansinoh disposable pads while I’m washing my lily pads.
• Nursing bras – I first bought these bras to wear at the hospital. I recommend buying cheap nursing bras for the first few days, your breasts will change in size so I would wait until at least 5-7 days postpartum to buy any nice nursing bras. My favorite are these.
•   Boppy – This pillow is a life saver. I love that you can sit them in it or nurse with it. Etsy also has some really cute covers.
•  Nursing cover – I haven’t gotten comfortable nursing in public but I have my eye on this nursing cover. I love the functionality, just waiting for a good sale!
•  Burb cloths – Cloth diapers are the best burb cloths to have hands down. 

My absolute favorite place to register is on Amazon. If you are an amazon prime member you will receive 15% for a completion discount and you can find everything you would ever need on Amazon. It's super easy for people purchasing presents for you and they track a "thank you" list with the individuals name and address'. Makes it super nice and easy when sending out thank you cards.
