Will some of you breastfeeding moms suggest which brand of bags you use? Putting some on my registry…

Medela, a boppy, all medela stuff, nipple creams,

Thank you @mama_icie!

Welcome

this

I found that my baby won't latch if I use the lanolin.. And u really only need it for the first few days.. Once ur milk comes I'm it's not dry anymore. At least for me.. I like the lanisoh bags..

@arijane316, 👍🏽 thank you

@xonycutiepie, I saw that brand got great reviews & that's helpful advice about the creams

you're welcome. this will help tremendously with breastfeeding because your nipples will most likely feel like baby has teeth after just a couple days. its not pleasant but this helps. use it before and after feedings. lanolin alone dries your nipples out more and this stuff doesn't have any lanolin in it

@arijane316, I saw that! I don't do well with lanolin products anyway. I appreciate the advice. I really want to breastfeed but I am preparing as much as possible because I know it can be really difficult

yes it can. I broke down a couple times because it was so painful for me and the pump I have wasn't doing any good. and I won't sugar coat it for you lol no sense lying about something like that. it does get painful and you will cry but dont let that change your mind on breastfeeding. like I said, this cream will help alot

@arijane316, thanks for the honesty! I tend to do better as long as I've prepared for the worst...I know it'll be worth it. So is that brand of pump you would not suggest then? I think I have a choice between 6 or so from insurance

I have the evenflo single electric and it sucks (or rather doesn't lol) it takes hours to get one ouce from one boob whereas I can hold a bottle to my nipple and hand express 2 oz form both boobs in 30 minutes, so no I wouldn't recommend it lol

Ok cool @arijane316 no evenflo for me lol

lol it seems everyone here gets the medela

medela is amazing I'm buying a breast pump that is portable so I have it at work cuz I might have to go back to work at 6 weeks which makes me sad

Thanks @elainelove907. My company uses fmla so I'll get 90 days but will be returning after that. Thanks you for your suggestion!

Medela is Def the best! I have the Medela advanced tote and it is amazing!
