I used a regular pillow to nurse and expressing milk on my nipples when they were cracked worked the best for me. I found nursing bras very convenient! Milk storage bags and a pump.
I used coconut oil, was the in think that helped mine heal! Also used shields. Breastfeeding was very painful for me for a little bit and those two things helped me get past the painful part and keep with it for 14 months!
The book "Breastfeeding Made Simple" and a good lactation consultant with LOTS of support for the first few, and often very difficult, months. It was the hardest part of my welcome to motherhood and though it may be the most natural thing ever, it doesn't always come easily. And I was 33 with my first. Best wishes to you.
