Does the hospital not supply all the diapers and stuff? I never take that stuff because they usually give you lots.

If so and you have a pump that you think you might want to use at some point, take that in - the lactation consultant can show you some tips. Some lanolin, breast pads, BF bra maybe? The only other thing I did was I bought a present ahead of time for Kylie. So when Ryan brought Kylie to see Megan, Kylie got a big sissy gift. She thought that was awesome! Do you have a baby book on your list? So they can ink the finger and feet prints on there for you? -------------------- *~Karen~* wife to hubby, Ryan Douglas mommy to Kylie (9) and Megan (6.5) and furbabies Gavin, Buster, Sox, and Hailey

I am determined to breast feed. I gave up so fast with jenna because of what happened with jordan but I am going t o get all the help i can with this one. And marcus is very pro breastfeeding so i know he will be there for me and help me push on. I am using sport bra in the hospital and once my milk comes in i will go out and buy a nursing bra because i may still go up a size when my milk comes in. I have breast pads so i am goign to pack those and the lanilon. Thats a good idea for jenna:) And the book yes i have one...

Shelly, take all the help you can get (and like you said you will) because that is the key to BF success. And when I say success....ANY AMOUNT OF TIME you BF, whether it be one hour, one day, one month, one year - any amount of effort you give to BF is what counts. That is what is important. PLEASE, come to me if you need support or help, as well. I am here for you. I'm sure there are a lot of people here who would be glad to support and help as well.

You might be more comfortable with your own versus theirs.....some people are.

My two cuties :) Group: Members Posts: 7,394 Member No.: 788 Joined: 29-September 04	Socks for the baby... their feet always seem so cold in the hospital! And I like to bring a couple sleepers besides the going home outfit, because I don't like the little half onesie they put them in. I brought my own snacks too... just some granola bars and a box of crackers or something like that. -------------------- Sara ~ Wife to Scott, Mommy to Andrew 6-12-05, Alison 2-20-07, and our angel in heaven 4-20-06
