Everyone is different, but these are the things I can't imagine doing without:
- A super-awesome supportive hubby

- a nipple shield
Some people say that nipple shields can hurt your supply, but let me tell you- my supply has not decreased at all. It makes nursing away from home difficult, but without it- we wouldn't be nursing.
- Boppy
- Bamboobies
- Sleep tanks
This is a Gilligan & O'Malley one from Target. I have this in a few colors. They are super comfortable to wear to sleep in (or for everyday wear around the house). It usually looks like I'm spilling out of it, but that varies based off of how recent Owen nursed. Bottom line is, they're comfortable and they make it easy to get the goods out.

I definitely agree with this! For my list, I would have to include underwire nursing bras, too!

Never had to use cream or sheilds but many of my friends have had too. I guess I’m lucky for that.
