Great tips! I forgot about the nursing tanks. Yes to good nursing tanks and bras. You need a good nighttime bra, too!

[...] Breastfeeding Tips for New Moms – (Including resources for increasing milk supply.) …Nursing Tanks and Nipple Shields: I bought my nursing tanks at Target. I love them! They make b-feeding more comfortable and modest. Nipple shields are wonderful to help newborns if they are struggling with latching on. Also, the shields help with ouchies, if you know what I mean. My fabulous lactation consultant suggested that I use a syringe with (baby) sugar water to “tempt” the baby to latch. It really helped!… [...]

I have been nursing my little girl for 5 months, now, and just last night I started on fenugreek because she keeps waking up hungry during the night, and when I pump I'm only getting 3 ounces each time. I'm also going to increase the amount of water I take. I really hope this works because I don't want to supplement with formula! .-= Tiffany´s last blog ..Drool Happens (Etsy GIVEAWAY!!!) =-.

I hate to tell you that I am one of those women whose babies are easy nursers and figure it out right away. But I will give a big shout out for nursing tanks. An absolute must have. And if you got some extra money to spend, splurge for the Yummie Tummie nursing tank. BEST THING EVER!!

BAM is 6 months, and I still use our boppy when we BF. I recently made a new slip cover for it, to match a quilt I made before his was born
and, while I love the comfort and ease of using the nursing tanks, I think it doesn’t provide enough support (or the exact fit) for me. I went from being small/extra small to small with medium or large sized boobs. talk about a drastic change! so I do prefer nursing bras, but I still (even after 6 months) found ones I like that I’ll buy for the next PG.
and I like your new design/page! i knew you had moved, but I hadn’t been able to get to it until now. I do the lazy thing and follow in my reader, occasionally clicking to comment .-= Krystina´s last blog ..Brendon’s First Christmas =-.

These are definitely some great tips, Myra!

For me, having a great, quality nursing bra is also essential, especially in the beginning. I go from being smallish-average (32D) to well-endowed (34F) when nursing and it’s so important to have really good support. I love the Medela bras because they provide great support without an underwire.

Also, more than anything, the most important “thing” to have when taking on nursing is a supportive partner! I couldn’t have done it without my hubby. Especially with my first daughter– my preemie, for whom I pumped exclusively for 7 months– I could never have established a good pumping routine without his unending and willing support. Some people may think men have nothing to do with breastfeeding but they do! Your husband’s attitude can make or break your breastfeeding experience.

Thanks for posting these tips! They are good reminders for me. I am on my second child, and I am very thankful she is a wonderful nurser, which I can’t say about my first. She latched on from the first time she was put on me and is a great feeder in that way. However, since she has been born, she has been feeding every 2 hours throughout the day, and about four weeks ago, she went from feeding every 3-4 hours to every two hours throughout the night. Some women are saying its “just a phase” and she is just growing. However, its been a month now and I am REALLY TIRED. She has grown rapidly this past month, but now she is starting to get really cranky and wanting to chew on things all the time. One word comes to mind. Teething. Could teething be the cause of her wanting to nurse so often? What are your thoughts on this? Thanks!
