Boppy Pillow
The Boppy Pillow is a half moon pillow that you use for nursing your baby. It’s also great for bottle feeding as well because it gives you great support while feeding your baby.
You put the pillow around your waist, place your baby at the level you want and bring the baby to your breast. You may wonder why you need the Boppy and why you can’t just use a regular pillow.
Regular pillows are too soft and won’t support your baby’s head. The Boppy is the perfect weight and firmness.
The Boppy is an amazing shower gift. I used it with all four of my kids and I couldn’t have lived without it. I’ve given it as a gift and I think you’ll really see that it is fabulous.
So, go by yourself a Boppy or buy one for a friend who just had a baby. I think you’ll really see that you love it! Happy nursing!
Lansinoh Lanolin for Nursing Mothers
Lansinoh is an ointment for breastfeeding mothers. The great thing about Lansinoh is that you just need a pea-sized amount.
Just squeeze out a small amount and rub it between your thumb and finger, and then rub it on your breast.
The Lansinoh is a little thick, so it goes on a bit smoother if you rub it with your thumb and finger first.
I recommend that you purchase Lansinoh before you go to the hospital to give birth, and start using it right away.
Many mothers end up with discomfort and cracking when they first breastfeed, an Lansinoh goes a long way towards healing those areas and bringing you comfort.
In addition to providing long-term healing, Lansinoh also brings immediate pain relief.
The La Leche League endorses Lansinoh, and as you may know, they are the leading authority on breastfeeding.
Also, you don’t have to rub off Lansinoh before nursing your baby.
So, use it as often as you like and you should see positive results.
Happy breastfeeding!
