than the boppy but she liked it. I so agree with you on the breast pump I didn't get mine till 2 weeks later and she wouldn't take all of it so I was hugely engorged! I have a medela pump in style and plan on using this for my second baby. It took me 30 mins i had an extremely slow letdown! I didn't read any breastfeeding books either but thankfully the lactation consultants helped me a lot! Ella was the same way after a feeding extremely fussy for hrs upon hrs
We use a wetbag for our cloth diapers bc we don't cloth diaper full time with Ella but with our next we def plan on cloth diapering more so I am def going to get a pail liner. Since we had a girl first everything had to be pink so thats what our pack and play is designed in is for a girl so my advice would be to get gender neutral baby gear! We also didn't have many newborn clothes and Ella was tiny so we weren't prepared for that. I just used a regular pillow I found that more helpful to me
@Aliwisha1 I kind of just suffered in silence through all my breastfeeding issues and luckily everything worked itself out. Google is my friend ;) lol. I definitely plan on getting a wet bag, since we will probably have an up and down stairs. I wish I had bought a madela the first time around but I didn't know how long I was going to breastfeed for! Luckily we did get a gender neutral pack-n-play (and swing, but it got overused)! That is a good tip!!!
@lunaandneville Right now I actually only have a kissaluv's antibacterial pail liner! A letdown is when the milk starts steadily flowing. Before a letdown happens, only drops of milk get released when the baby is eating. You normally feel a tingling sensation when it happens. You may start feeling later in pregnancy when/if you start leaking :) It's kind of hard to explain.. so I hope this explanation helped a little!
