Any questions for a new mom?

I have a beautiful 7 week old baby girl who was born via c/s.  I pump to breastfeed.

  • what are some baby things that you thought you had to have and now you think you might never use them?

  • I was thinking about pumping to breastfeed, I hate my boobs being touched period, does it hurt or feel uncomfortable to pump? How is that working out for your family?

    A breastfeeding pillow (My Breast Friend).  It was highly recommended at my BF class.  I had a difficult time BFing my DD directly so now I pump  and I have never used it.

    Diaper Champ:  We ended up using a regular rubbermaid garbage pail.

  • It's not uncomfortable and it doesn't hurt.  You can control the strength of the pumping on the Medela PISA.  It is working out well.  I do wish I could feed DD directly but at least she's still getting the benefits of BM. The hardest part is having both of your hands occupied for 15-20 minutes.
