Breastfeeding Magazines Top Ten Nursing Supplies

Need lots of nursing supplies? Not really. One of the greatest benefits of breastfeeding is that you don’t need a lot of stuff. God gave you everything you need to provide optimum nutrition to your baby.

However, there are some great breastfeeding supplies that I couldn’t do it without.

Here’s our Top Ten List:

1. Nursing tanks
Nursing PJs Stylish, yet very practical, nursing tanks are a must have! They can replace a boring nursing bra because it can be worn underneath or on their own. They are also cut to flatter most post-pregnancy bodies.

2. Nursing Covers
Nursing covers help even the most bashful moms feel comfortable breastfeeding without needing to leave the room. With such stylish covers available...moms can go out in public, discreetly nurse their little ones and look great!

3. Nursing pajamas
Since newborns do a lot of eating, you will want easy access breastfeeding at night. This is true whether you are co-sleeping or not. Fortunately, there are so super cute choices out there now.


4. Nursing bras
Purchase nursing bras at the end of your pregnancy to get a better idea of the size you will need. Some women don’t change size very much. Others (like me!) get enormous compared to my normal size.

Just remember...just because nursing bras are needed nursing supplies, doesn't mean they can't also look fabulous!

5. Nursing pads
These are like insurance for the breastfeeding mother (especially working mothers who are away from home!) They guarantee that you won’t have an unfortunate wet spot on your cute tops!


Or to try LilyPadz (a revolutionary new kind of nursing pad you can even swim in!)
6. Breast pump
Don't be fooled. Not all breast pumps are created equal! Invest in a good one and you will never regret it!

7. Nursing pillow
These are awesome helps in positioning newborns to nurse! I never had a pillow with my first baby. I received one as a birthday gift when I had my second child. Then I could hardly remember how I lived without it.

8. Baby carrier (sling or baby wrap)
Earthly Birthy Mama Slings I had very high maintenance babies. They would not just sit or lay. They wanted mommy! So…I learned about baby-wearing first hand before I even knew what was. All I knew is that it was a necessity for my kiddos. I loved them. I couldn’t have survived their babyhood without my favorite slings!

They also are great breastfeeding cover-ups to help you discretely breastfeed in public.

9. Diaper bag
One of the coolest things about breastfeeding mothers is that they can choose their diaper bags based on style not just necessity...because we don’t have to fit big cans of formula and tons of bottles. We just need the diapers and wipes and we are good to go!

10. Nursing Necklace
If you have ever tried to breastfeeding a teething baby or a distracted toddler, you will understand this one.
Nursing Necklace Nursing necklaces are a stylish solution for moms to engage easily distracted little ones while they nurse. These necklaces appeal to your child's senses and are designed to be fun, intriguing, tactile, and stimulating! There are even teething necklaces that are safe for babies to chew!

My Snowy Valentine

It's Valentine's weekend and love is in the air... can you feel it? And if that weren't romantic enough... it's snowing... everywhere!
Take time out this weekend for 2 things...
1. Bundle your baby (or your belly), go outside and take a picture! Your baby book or scrap book or facebook will thank you.
2. Take time out to snuggle with your Valentine! I know sometimes our husbands aren't as perfect as we are... I mean, as we want them to be, but keep in mind that he's new at this parent thing too and he's learning just like you are. And besides, he's 1/2 the reason you're a parent anyway... that's reason enough to smooch on him! How lucky are we? A husband and a baby to love this Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day!!!! Stay warm...

Introducing... Me!!!

test... one, two... test. Is this thing on? Hello... hi. My name is Amber and I... well, I'm a mom. A new mom. A flying by the seat of my (elastic) pants kind of mom. A, "holy cow... I'm a mom!" mom. A mom... just like you. Isn't it fun? Wait, wait... how old is your baby? The word, fun, really depends on the age of your baby. My baby is 16 months old so yes, it's fun. 15 months ago... not so fun. Having a baby is hard... and then it gets easy... and then it gets hard again... easy, hard, easy, hard, easy, hard... and I'll let you know when it gets easy again.
And this is my blog... our blog. Yours and mine. My goal for this blog is for it to be a place where we mom's can come together to learn, laugh, cry (because what new mom doesn't cry?) and be honest. I'll be writing a little on my journey with motherhood and I'll share any mom related articles, upcoming sales, must-haves (per my opinion) and such.
Oh, and last, but certainly not least... this blog is sponsored by my friend, Heather Paradice, and her latest adventure... Pheobe Nursingwear! Of course you all know about Due Maternity here in Atlanta, right? Well Heather is the mastermind behind Due Atlanta and her new baby is Pheobe... and what a cute baby Pheobe is! A definite must see kind of place! I was just there this week and being in her store (almost) made me ready for a 2nd baby. Someone slap me!

Stay tuned...
