Nipple Balm
We’ve talked a lot about bottoms so far but let’s go up a little. Those nipples are gonna hurt. It’s no joke, but don’t let that discourage you from breastfeeding. I’ve nursed all three of mine, each for several years.
But the pain is real when you first start and you definitely have to have a really good nipple balm. This one right here has always been my favorite. it’s called Boob Ease 😉
Gel Nursing PadsÂ
These are like little ice packs for your nipples and they’re totally necessary. Here’s a really good brand, I used them and they’re awesome.
There are a few other things you may want to pick up like a Donut pillow to sit on, a postpartum Belly Wrap and some K-Y Jelly for when you’re ready to try sex. Just a thought.
I hope this helps and I am wishing you a lovely postpartum with minimum pain.
