Quick introduction of myself :)
My name is Jill, and I am 34 weeks pregnant with my first (a girl). I have
decided to breastfeed, and haven't yet been able to take a bf class but am going to very soon-- I am due in May! (I'm in North Carolina, USA) snip But I would like to ask....what do I need to have on hand to get started?? I want to be sure I have the few things I need before I have the baby so I can just focus on the baby when we get home and can just go to it! Jill Hi, Jill! Can you believe that you are ALREADY 34 weeks pregnant? I can remember when you just discovered you were having a baby! Woo-hoo! For me, the things I find most helpful for my breastfeeding experience have been: ~Speaking to the Lactation Consultant in the hospital a few times. They were able to help me with latching and any questions. ~Speaking to the Lactation Consultant while at home. She was able to answer a few questions I had. ~Asking specific questions here and on MKP. I am amazed at the knowledge. ~Reading the book that was given to me from the hospital about Caring for the Newborn. I just realized this morning that it had the answers to just about all of my breastfeeding questions...even about the growth spurts! ~So, bottom line is all you need is patience, breasts and the baby! Oh, I also have 100% Lanolin that I use sparingly on my tender breasts. Wahoo!! Jill, you are so close!! I'm so happy for you! ~Carol Ann Mother to Morgan, March 24, 2004 |
