Hardware and accessories needed for breastfeeding

Compared with bottle feeding, breastfeeding requires little equipment. Specifically, only the mother is essential, making the act of breastfeeding very handy.

However, the establishment of breastfeeding may involve a minimum of accessories that you need during the first, and second month of lactation such as milk pads, etc.
Here are some tips and information that will help you there.

Breast pump (optional accessory)

By taking your milk with a breast pump it  allows you to offer your child bottles without introducing artificial milk.

There are two types: the manual (type Avent Isis) and the electric breast pump. You can rent an electric breast pump at a pharmacy. Your Social Security and your insurance reimburses for you the rental of the breast pump if you get a prescription in the name of the baby.
A breast pump may be helpful if:

On the distance between you and your child while you breastfeed (exit outside the mother, the baby's hospitalization).

To get your baby a bottle to stop breast-feeding (weaning).

If your baby can not breastfeed properly (low-weight children, inverted nipple).

For using a breast pump manual breast, begin at the beginning by small and frequent gentle pressure and, on arrival of milk you then push longer and stronger.

The nursing pillow (optional equipment)
When breastfeeding your baby, the nursing pillow provides good support and support for baby. The nursing pillow is like a sort of pillow-shaped crescent moon on which the baby is placed and the shape lets you can also calibrate your elbow. Thus, the nursing pillow will prevent the use of several pillows while breastfeeding.    
     
The nursing bra

During breastfeeding, the weight of the breast volume increases and so does the need for good support that you provide with the nursing bra. The opening system of the nursing bra should have an easy access to breastfeed baby without having to undress. This lingerie chest is adapted to the nursing mother with a guaranteed comfort and practical use. You can find nursing bras in department stores or in shops and child care departments.    
  
Nursing pads

During the first weeks of breastfeeding your baby, your body will produce milk without being able to regulate production. It will take some time to adjust properly to the needs of your child. Thus, initially, there may be a flow of milk between the two head to a surplus of milk production. Nursing pads allow you to avoid wetting of milk your blouse or tee shorts. It is important to change them regularly so that your nipple is in a moist environment, conducive to cracks. Two types of bearings of breastfeeding exist on the market: disposable pads and washable breast pads (cheaper if you are a consumer).

The cups, shells or hulls of breastfeeding (optional accessory)

The cups, shells or hulls of breastfeeding are useful to collect the excess milk from your breasts in the first weeks of breastfeeding. Paradoxically, the development of these breast shells or cups will boost your production milk, because of their pressure on your breast. Thus, they should be avoided in case of too much milk. well, the hulls or shells of breastfeeding, by their constitution, make the pin point forward. They are therefore not recommended in cases of cracks during breastfeeding.
