This
Friday it's all about breastfeeding accessories, as you know from my
previous Wish Lists I try to find the best options price wise, here
is what I have found and think could be necessary as I'm planning to
breastfeed. If I miss anything please do let me know!
Breast
pads:
1. ASDA Little Angels Breast Pads- £1.00
2. Wilko Mum to Be Maternity Breast Pads 40 Pads- £1.50
3. Mothercare Washable Breast Pads- £4.99
Nipple
cream:
Lansinoh HPA Lanolin Nipple Cream (40ml)- ToysRUs, Kiddicare, Mothercare £9.99
Nursing
bra (I'm a fan of practical
things hence only black bras):
1. Emma Jane Seam Free Maternity & Nursing Bra- More 4 Mums £11.00
2. Emma Jane Padded T-shirt Nursing Bra- More 4 Mums £15.00
Breastfeeding
covers:
1. Palm & Pond Infant Breastfeeding Cover - Red Cherry Design- Daisy BabyShop £6.95 (variety of other designs)
2. Mamascarf Breast Feeding Scarf Black- Kiddicare £12.50
I didn't mention muslings, nursing pillows as I am planning to use what I have at home as I believe that towels and flannels can be used instead of muslings and normal pillow can be used as a breastfeeding pillow.

Lansinoh breastpads are the only ones I like, I've tried lots and these are ultra thin and not itchy like others.
ReplyDeleteBreastfeeding scarf by Snoob - usually £25 but today 20% off, are more expensive but much better as they stay in place while feeding. http://mummymemories2013.blogspot.co.uk/2014/05/happy-1st-birthday-snoob-xx.html x
I bought Breast Pads thinking i would actually need them, but i never used a single one, so there were surplus... although when my nipples started bleeding i put in my bra a small square of fleece fabric coated in Lansinoh Lanolin cream and it was magic!!!... id say the cream is a must have and my number 1 top product, ive used it for alsorts :)... i have a breastfeeding top tutorial to save even more money: http://www.suggys.co.uk/Leanne/how-to-make-your-own-nursingbreastfeeding-top/ #PoCoLo
ReplyDeleteI don't have kids yet or expecting anytime soon but when I do I want to breastfeed. I love your practical choices x
ReplyDeleteI must admit I didn't breast feed and although it is the best thing for a child both of my boys wouldn't latch on properly and the stress of having both of them by c-section already making myself feel bad I just gave up i didn't want to put myself under any more so I turned to the bottle however I did use the lanolin and found it to be amazing x #binkylinky
ReplyDeleteHandy especially the cover. I always have a scarf with me just so I can do my thing w/o exposing myself. Love these things! Helpful to Moms #pocolo
ReplyDeleteGood picks, couldn't live without breast pads! Thanks for linking up to #brilliantblogposts
ReplyDeleteGlad to see the mamascarf in there :) Reusable breast pads would be my top pick

Good wish list! Personally I'm not a fan of the scarves, nut I understand why people use them. Lansinoh is a must if you have cracked nipples definitely. Positioning is everything, and I had a whole stack of pillows to hand for feeding. I hope things go well with BF, and if they don't to start with they will get easier!
ReplyDeleteI'm so hoping I can breastfeed Baby C, I've been given pads and have bought some Lansinoh. I'm going to babywear and have a woven wrap so thinking that'll do in place of a scarf/cover. Thanks for sharing at Weekend Blog Hop xx
ReplyDeleteASDA own brand breast pads were brilliant and the lanisoh cream works wonders! Thanks for linking up to the #binkylinky
ReplyDeleteI loved Boots breast pads they were very helpful

A brilliant list. I used to have reusuable breast pads which got washed in the machine - they were fantastic! I love those breastfeeding covers too - weren't around when Grace was small. Thank you for linking to PoCoLo :) x
