You might want Lanolin & gel soothies for your nipples. They'll have lanolin in the hospital that you can take home, but it's usually a small tube.

I really prefer nursing tanks to nursing bras in the beginning, but it's a personal preference. The bras are great for overnight if you need them though, so it's good to have some of both.

The hospital will have most of that stuff...and you should be able to bring some of it home.

They also give you a spray bottle that will be a fave.

And ditto the lanolin suggestion.

Ibuprofen. Possibly an abdominal binder (this helped give me support post c-section to bend down).
