I wouldn’t be able to live without my pump! I just started back at work after 6 weeks of leave on Monday and I’m so lucky to have a supportive job that lets me pump when I need to.
One thing I coudlnt live without breastfeeding is a breastfeeding bra. They come in handy and are so convienant!
The support of my husband, who agrees it will be the best way to feed our daughter when she arrives later this month — eep!
Product wise I love my Lilly pads! In general I couldn’t live without my hubby’s hug support!
My boppy and nipple cream. Those are some lifesavers right there.
Definately a Boppy for Baby and nipple cream for Mama!
wow…so many indispensable things helped me breastfeed successfully the first time around. #1 would probably be my pump–it helped me continue after going back to work following maternity leave. not to be discounted in any way, though, was the incredible support of my husband and the nipple cream/balm that did a lot to help my poor, sore nipples!
A breast feeding starter kit should NEVER have a bottle in it. This is a fail!
The one thing i couldnt live without while breastfeeding was my nipple shield, Cracked nipple= PAIN!
Definitely could not live without my nursing pillow!
My nursing cover
I am not sure, my first baby does not arrive for another 6 months!
In the beginning I had to have my boppy to keep my son off of my sore tummy, after that I couldnt have done it without my pump. 26 months later and he is still going strong!
I could not live without my nursing tanks. They make it so easy!
I could never live without my boppy (in the beginning) and some good lansinoh! I also LOVED earthmamas boobytubes my last child!
@rendoulas: So how is my son supposed to eat now that I’m back at work after 6 weeks?
I could never live without my nursing pillow, water bottle and a good book
I couldn’t have lived without lanolin. It helped heal my broken skin!
I didn’t have anything when I first-time breastfed..so I guess what would of been real nice to have was an actual nursing bra and a nursing pillow. I think this is such an awesome Giveaway..I’m expecting a girl at the end of September and some of these items i’ll have to look into!
Not sure as this is my first child and I am due in November, but from talking with other moms, I think it is going to be nursing tanks and nursing pillow that I wont be able to live without.
I cannot live without nursing tanks!!! They are absolutely amazing, comfy and discrete
And extremely easy to maneuver when nursing in public
Nursing pads… I am a leaker.
As a first time mom I”m guessing it will be the support of my partner, and a nursing pillow.
Nursing Pillow
My pump! I exclusively pump for my surrogate baby, so I NEED my pump. I can hand express, but doing that 8-10x per day to express 60+ ounces per day? Ouch. So, definitely my pump. It’s a must have to continue providing my surro baby with the best food for him.
This will be my first, but I want to say that the support of my husband and my mother, Ina world where everyone wants the easy way out and people love to push their opinions on you, its great to have the two of them backing me up when choosing whats best for my baby.
I’d say a nursing bra (I have an old upper back injury) and a nursing pillow. Support is a must too but my hubby provides that.
Oh no! I wasn’t signed in when I posted my comment. I hope it counts. If not, maybe this comment will count? My most essential BFing items are a nursing bra and pillow.
my nursing pillow, support from my hubby, and listening to my body!
i couldn’t live without my husband! he was such great support and I honestly couldn’t have succeeded without him!!
My daughter and the support of my husband
My husband. I feel like he will be my biggest supporter when our first baby arrives in the next three weeks. My husband even endured a three hour prenatal breastfeeding class with me =)
The one thing I could not live without while breastfeeding my little guy is definitely moral support from my hubby. Second to that is my lactation consultant! It’s a tough but very rewarding thing to nourish your baby from your own body!
I couldnt live without my breast pads and nursing bras. I leak A LOT!
There were so many items that made breastfeeding more comfortable and relaxing. However, I would have never made it without the pump. I had enough milk to feed triplets in the beginning. I donated about 3000 ounces.
my pump of course!
my organic nursing tank has been my most cherished breastfeeding essential along with a big glass of water to keep me hydrated.
breastfeeding pillow and breast pads for my excessive leaking!
The one thing I couldn’t do without when breastfeeding? Support! From hubby, friends, lactation consultant, doula, pediatrician, etc. all makes a world of difference!
Nipple butter!
I couldn’t live without good support to successfully breastfeed. Without my husband creating the space and nurturing me and my midwives and lactation consultant guiding me through we never would have got through the first month.
nursing pillow and some water
The support of my husband and my pump. Engorgment sucked!
I couldn’t live without a breast pump and good nursing pillow for breastfeeding
My husband’s support!
My pump because I go back to work in Monday and I’m so glad I can still provide healthy nutrients to my baby without going directly to formula.
a breast pump
Definitely nursing pillow!
My must have was a good breat pump! I had to work so to keep up my supply and have milk for my dd, I had to pump. Another was a good nursing pillow.
My must have is a nursing cami! I seriously love these! It’s great for summer time!
At first, my nursing pillow and lansinoh cream! Now, stretchy tops for easy access when feeding on the go
I loved having a nursing pillow for breast feeding. It was really nice to have the extra support to hold baby.
I can’t live with a boppy and nipple cream during breastfeeding.These nursing items are a must have for me!!
Because I had to return to work when my daughter was 12 weeks old, I found my pump and hands-free pumping bra essential to allow me to contine to work while pumping 3 times per day. I’m so thankful to have been able to breastfeed my daughter for a year! Even though I couldn’t be there all day, I knew a part of me was with her, giving her the best nourishment possible!
I cannot live without a boppy, nipple cream and a manual breastpump.I tend to struggle a bit with breastfeeding in the beggining and these items really helped me to make it successful
I don’t know because my baby hasn’t been born yet. 9 days until the due date! <3
I couldn’t live without my husband’s help and support. Even though he would have loved to feed our daughter (she refused bottles), he has said many times how happy he is that she is a great nurser. He was so helpful when she was first born and would bring me water, snacks, and entertainment while I nursed and he has always backed up our decision if anyone has questioned it. Love him!
My must-have is a nursing bra!
I really liked having access to written information about what breastfeeding is really all about.
One of the main things I couldn’t live without is the support of my husband and family. Having a pump, a nursing pillow and a glass of water beside you are all wonderful bonuses, but I’m most grateful for my strong support system. I feel privileged to have nursed my eldest until he was 2.5 years old and now my new baby who is 1 year old and still nursing. I’m cherishing this special bonding time with her which also provides invaluable nourishment!
Couldn’t live without a few things… Comfy bras, an extra pump to keep at the office and motherlove nipple butter!
I wouldn’t have been able to breastfeed early on with my twin girls. The Twin Breast Friend Pillow worked miracles for me.
Nipple cream in the begining, a nursing bra later.
I could mnot live without coconut water and my Ergo!!
I couldn’t live without a nursing bra. A good nursing bra is essential.
For the first few weeks, my Boppy pillow was my best friend. Also lots of cloth nursing pads.
my breastfriend nursing pillow! it’s an amazing nursing pillow to have!
A decent nursing pillow and a fabulous lactation consultant while in hospital – I had bfing troubles with my first two children and the LCs were critical in helping me establish bfing success. Expecting #3 in the next six weeks and hoping we have smooth sailing this time around.
Great giveaway, thanks for the chance!!! megancrose@gmail.com
Hello! As I’m expecting my 1st baby, I think that pump must be smth that you have to have around.
I couldn’t! Do without the Medela double pump and comfort cups for inverted nipples. The lactation support group and consultants at my hospital have been great.
My PumpEase nursing support has made going back to work much easier. It’s a godsend! I can now work and pump (or enter contests). I just wish I had a better pump. My friends rave about Hygeia. I didn’t know about them when I bought a pump though.
Earth Mama Angel Baby products have also been a tremendous help! The nipple butter and diaper/booboo creams are awesome.
The Leaky B@@b and KellyMom have also been great supports. Two great communities!
nursing bras and nippy!
I couldn’t live without my pump, although I’d love to be able to!
I don’t know how I would have even make it out of the hospital without THE NIPPLE SUPPLIES: nipple shields, nipple cream and of course the very necessary hot/cold packs. Breastfeeding requires so much need, but if I had to boil it all down and sum it up in one: THE NIPPLE SUPPLIES, that is surely what I could not live with out!
Breast pump for sure!
I could not of survived breastfeeding if it weren’t for disposable breastpads. cloth ones barely held anything!
Knowledge, support and boobie pads… Those are my three essentials. When my son was born I was only able to breastfeed for a month. This time it’s been 5 months and I’m still going strong! Before our daughter was born we took a breastfeeding class, did research online and talked to friends who successfully breastfed their babies. I developed a reliable support group of friends that I can call at any time for advice. And of course, boobie pads are essential to prevent those embarassing leaks!
definately the breastfeeding pillow at first!
First my baby, for being such a great and patient breastfeeding study buddy and the best breast cover I could ask for. Second my wonderful midwife who helped us through some of our speed bumps. And thirdly on the gadget side I also love me some nursing tanks.
Nursing pads have been an absolute must-have!
i couldn’t live without my nursing tanks!
I really appreciate good nursing bras while breastfeeding.
The one thing I couldn’t live without are my BOOBS! Or as my son calls them.. “nay nays” They are really the most important accessory when it comes to breastfeeding. That and tenacity! Don’t stop til it works!
I couldn’t live without my nursing pillow!
I’m not completely sure yet as my first little one does not arrive for another 5 months, but I’m thinking my breast pump will fast become one of my closest friends!
Great pump. nursing pillow and pads are a must have for me.
Thank you!
Most definitely, nursing pillow and nursing bras!!
A supportive husband and the determination to get through the rough patches! The Nursing Mother’s Companion by La Leche League was super helpful to me as well!
My baby of course! And support from my husband and children. As long as baby latches or learns to latch I can live without the other “stuff”. Support and love to help me get through those first couple weeks of no sleep is going to do wonders for me.
My support network! After being unable to breastfeed my first, I was determined to find success with the second. When she had to spend the week after I was discharged in the NICU, my family and friends put together a schedule to help me get back and forth to the hospital every three hours. Because of their help, I only missed a few nursing sessions all week. Nine months later, my daughter is still happily nursing. I would never have made it this long without all of their help!
The one thing I could not live without for breastfeeding would be nursing tank tops and my partners delicious cooking and helping hand.
In the beginning I wouldn’t be able to live nipple cream! But now I can’t go without my nursing bras/ shirts/ tanks!
For baby, a nursing pillow and for me, lactation cookies and mother’s milk tea!
I would have to say 1-2 great nursing camis are a must.
nursing pads were a must! And a comfortable nursing bra!
I couldn’t live without patience, and lot’s of it! it is very hard during breastfeeding for any mother especially if she is used to having a very fast lifestyle, to get herself into this peacefull mode! And a pump for realivig youself of extra milk, helps a lot!
I can’t live without nursing pads, and the support of my awesome husband!
My nursing tanks! Love, love, love them!!!
medela nipple cream! Also easy access nursing tops are a must for me
Similac iPhone app. It easy to use one handed and helps record everything. It keeps which side and how long you nurse. There’s also a way to record pumping, bottle feeds, diapers and sleep. I used this instead of the paper journal when we were in the hospital. I love it!
I couldn’t live without a good supportive bra and nursing tanks to make nursing in public much easier!
Water, patience, the my breast friend pillow and a nursing shield were all invaluable, but it was my kindle that really helped the most. Once I could relax and read one-handed, I stopped worrying about how long my son would nurse, whether he was getting enough and focusing on the initial pain and watching the clock. It got me through many a marathon nursing session! 2+ hours is a long time to be in one place with nothing to do and reading was a more positive and relaxing experience for me – plus I could read out loud to my son!
I’ll be new at it, but a nursing pillow for height and a pump for the inevitable return to work.
I couldn’t have succeeded at breastfeeding without the help and guidance I received from an experienced lactation consultant (IBLBC). She volunteered her services free of charge because my husband was active duty air force at the time. She even came to our house to observe me nursing my son and reassured me that we were on the right track. I think she saved our breastfeeding relationship just before I reached the breaking point. We owe her many thanks!
my breast friend.. it makes it so easy to nurse hands free when I need to!
Definitely my Medela breastpump. In the beginning I was too full & she couldn’t keep up with me, so enter the pump & we get to save that milk vs being in pain & possibly getting an infection. Now I pump to help keep up with her & keep the breasts stimulated to make enough milk for that growing baby & also so others get to help feed her too.
I couldn’t live with out the boppy and my beautiful little princess to make breastfeeding so magical and special!
My can’t live without breast feeding essential item is lactation cookies. They have really helped maintain my supply and are a great “healthy” treat for a job well done in feeding my baby the best food for him!
I couldn’t live without the support from my husband!
Communities online have helped as well. I have loved being a part of “The Leaky Boob” on FB and Twitter.
Well Duh My Baby lol. I comfortable rocking chair helped a lot with my daughter. Thinking it’ll be the same again hopefully.
I couldn’t live without my Milk Bar nursing pillow and Lansinoh Nipple balm.
Love my nursing tank and nursing pads!
My answer was going to be the support from my husband, but we just found out I’m pregnant again and he seems kind of iffy about my decision to breastfeed this time around. With our first, she would not take a bottle at all, so I nurse her all day and she sleeps with us at night. He is concerned that I will be nursing two babies and that they will both not want to spend time with him. Our daughter is 9 months old and I’m 6 weeks pregnant, so I do plan to continue to breastfeed our daughter throughout this pregnancy and start immediately with teaching the new little one to accept a bottle. The one thing I couldn’t live without while breastfeeding our daughter has to be our recliner. No matter how busy she thinks she is, when we sit in that recliner she knows that it’s time to calm down and take a break.
My husband who always checked on me while I was nursing…ice water in hand. Besides that, my Medela breast pump. As a working mama it’s an absolute necessity!
As a first time mother-to-be I’m not 100% sure what I couldn’t live without as far as breastfeeding goes…I would have to say I couldn’t live without my breasts or a pump!
First time mom here too! I know my sister can’t live without her nursing pillow, so I would have to say the same!
I can’t wait to find out! Our baby boy is due in October!!
I couldn’t live without a nursing pillow. I received a boppy at my baby shower but I would love to try some other ones
My favorite nursing bra!
Definitely nursing pads!
It’s a tie between lanolin and the MyBreastFriend nursing pillow which were both essential to successful breastfeeding for baby and myself alike at the start.
I couldn’t live without food! So hungry breastfeeding this little guy!
Breast pump I guess? I am having my first child which will be due in late January next year. I’ve never tried breast feeding but I guess I need the assistance of breast pump to get me through breast feeding process.
Earth momma angel baby nipple butter! and of course my Medela pump!
WIll be breastfeeding here for the first time any day now! I think i’m going to need support the most!
Couldn’t live without the baby, of course!;)
My two must-haves are nursing pads and the support of my husband!
Loving the Breast Friend nursing pillow! I also already subscribe to newsletters and like you on FB!
I couldn’t live without my breastfeeding pillow! I hate to replace my Boppy pillow because i got it as a present, (dont like its print..) but would love to recieve a different one
)
The bond that breastfeeding allowed me to enhance with my baby girl as been magical, unique and very deep!
Hope to try it again sometime soon, now with the help of Inhabitots great equipment, obviosly, now that I met it!
(I’m not pregnant, but trying!)
Definitely a Hungry Baby! He He.
D
I couldn’t do with without the pump, with my first son, my right nipple was so sore, I couldn’t feed him with it and I needed to pump in order to keep myself “in-commission” on the right side!
I’m not sure what is one thing I can’t live without because I haven’t given birth yet! It is great to read all these comments on what is so important to many women out there so I’ll have a good idea of what to get. Our little one will be here around Sept. 22nd, so it would be a blessing to receive some great products to use when the time comes! Mahalo!!
My first baby is due in October, so I’m not sure what I couldn’t do without. I’ve definitely been eyeing a nursing pillow though
My husband. He helped me breastfeed when I had migraines. Bless him!
My aunt gave me two great pieces of advise that I have found indispensable. The first one is to lie down when you nurse; this was so helpful in the first few months as it took the stress off my back and belly and made for more leisurely nursing sessions. The second was to drink a glass of water every time you nurse, this kept me hydrated and my milk flowing. I honestly don’t think I could have made it without that advice. Thank heaven for sage-like aunties!
I’m not sure what I couldn’t live without, as baby’s not due ’til the 29th (!!!), but I’m thinking a breast feeding starter kit sure wouldn’t hurt.
I couldn’t leave without a good breast pump and some support from my hubby and friends to continue breastfeeding my baby. It really makes all the difference.
One of the most important must haves for breastfeeding is undoubtedly a feeding bra. It makes feeding time a far more convenient activity for both mommy and baby. Jacqueline Freer
I can’t live without nice absorbant burping clothes!
I work 40+ hours a week & have 2 kids; I breastfed them both til they were a year old – couldn’t have done it without my electric pump. Love affair for sure!
This will be my first baby after many years of trying; I’m excited to find out what the one thing I can’t live without for breastfeeding is!
I couldn’t live without my nursing bras and the great support I have from my husband and friends! The nursing bras are very convenient! they provide great support other bras wouldnt
My boppy – it’s been so useful these first 4 months, I don’t know what I would have done without it!!
I couldn’t live without my bamboobies. I leak so much and these keep me and my shirt dry
I have no idea what I need for breastfeeding, my baby isn’t due until early December. I just hope that all goes well and I can breastfeed for 6-12 months like planned.
Support from family!
Having good bras and easy-access tops was the most important thing for me. Thank you so much for the chance to win! We are expecting baby number three and I am determined to encourage this one to drink BM from a bottle! Would love to try these ones!
At the beginning, especially, the right nursing pillow was key: the boppy never worked for me, and I hated My Brest Friend, but the Simplisse Gia is just right!
I wouldnt be able to live without my baby k’tan… I can breastfeed while he’s snuggled up against me… and still chase after my other kiddos!
Im an exclusive pumping mommy and would love this!!!
I don’t think I would beable to live without breast feeding my unborn baby I used to breast feed my other kid’s and I felt so close to them.
I couldn’t live with out the support of my hubby for breastfeeding. It’s so hard to breastfeed here at the place that I live at. I have so much support from him that he tells people the facts of breastfeeding when I feed in public.
A good nursing bra and lanolin for the first 2 weeks.
I couldn’t live without my wonderful supportive husband who encouraged me to breastfeed as long as I could/wanted to. I have 4 kids and 1 on the way and I breastfed each of my children for 1 1/2 – 2 1/2 years each. Breastfeeding is the best thing you could ever do for your children!
Organic cotton breast pads. I leak so much that they are a must have! I would love to have this basket!
Breastfeeding my firstborn, I didn’t need much more than feed-friendly shirts and bras and a fully charged battery in my pump on weekdays (I pumped at work for 22 months.) With the newbie on the way this fall, I expect it won’t be much different- except only one of us will really be learning to nurse, not both of us!
nursing pads. There really is nothing worse then leaking when out beacause of someone else child crying….lol
I couldn’t live without my baby! I knew I was going to breastfeed, I just didn’t know how much I would love it! My daughter just turned one, and I am not looking forward to the day she weans. As of right now she shows no signs of stopping, and I’m alright with that; I cherish our quiet moments together.
I couldn’t live without my nursing tanks.
breast pads (cause a soaked bra/shirt is really uncomfortable) and a super supportive family (cause we spend lots of time with the family, and I nurse a lot)
My double breast pump! I use it everyday-so if I am out my baby still gets what she needs-it’s peace of mind more than anything!
nipple cream and a breast pump because sometimes this mama gets engorged and there is no way to get my little one to nurse when she doesn’t want to, so I pump to relieve the engorgement and then I let my 2yo have it (:
I could not have lived without the help of a wonderful lactation consultant in our local hospital. We had a very rough start at breastfeeding and could not get a good latch until receiving her help. Thankfully, she saved us and we ended up being quite successful. Now I am expecting #2 at the end of the month and hoping for a much smoother start this time around!
I couldn’t live without my milk and a pump
love and support from my family and lots of nipple cream
I won’t be able to do it without a great support system!
I definitely have to have a Boppy!
My baby is not due until Halloween but I have heard that the boppy pillow is a breastfeeding godsend.
At the risk of sounding like a smart alec: my breasts are pretty much essential and a baby, of course. This will be my first child. I her boppies are a great back-saver for breastfeeding. I hope to avoid having to use a breat pump.
My must have is a good nursing pillow and some good supply increasing snacks.
Besides the obvious (boobs and baby), my nursing bras and camisoles!!!
I would have to say it’s a tie between lanolin cream and my breast pump! Both help relieve the soreness in the beginning!!!
Due in October so haven’t started yet but I definitely think I wouldn’t be able to live without a great nursing pillow!
While nursing the one thing I cannot live without is my baby! He is the whole reason for breastfeeding and all of the other stuff is just for our comfort! Before they had breast pumps, creams, consultants, pads, and all of the other modern day products all that you needed for breastfeeding was your baby and a mothers love!
I owe my breastfeeding confidence to my Loving husband and friend. Without them I wouldn’t be as successful as I am today with nursing. Also, tank tops!
My rocking chair
I couldnt live without my breast pump, I like to stock-pile as much milk as possible!
My luna pillow was awesome!
I couldn’t live without my boppy! Truly a lifesaver! =)
i couldn’t have successfully breastfed my son without the wonderful support from his dad and from the friends i’ve made in online breastfeeding communities. other than that, all i need are boobs lol. i am currently in the process of weaning my one year old and i am due with another baby this december. i am so looking forward to starting this journey all over again!!
One thing I coudlnt live without while breastfeeding is my pump. I have accumulated over 11.5 gallons of milk through pumping.
Picking one thing is difficult. My boppy was such a huge help. But my husband is definitely the most important part of my breastfeeding experience. He was amazing, and such a great supporter.
I use a milksaver and would be lost without that. Once I go back to school my pump will be my #1 item I cannot live without
I couldn’t live without my Breastfriend or my Milkmakers. Both changed my breastfeeding world.
My son is not here yet. Knowing my husband supports me in doing what is best for our son is something I do not think I could be without. Now a days there are so many convenience items to make breastfeeding comforting. Knowing you have your child and are nourishing him the best way you can would be the ultimate reward.
I could not live without my earth mama nipple butter! it was a life savor the first couple weeks
I couldn’t live without my nursing cami’s! ALL OF THEM!
We couldn’t have nursed without a nipple shield! My little boy had tongue tie and has upper lip tie and never latched without one the whole time we nursed! Hoping for better luck with our babe due in October!
I honestly could not live without Earth Mama Angel Baby’s Nipple Butter, it was a life saver!!
I wouldn’t be able to live without my nursing cover. As a mom on the go, I want to be able to feed my son whenever he needs!
When my son was born I couldn’t have done without a pump! For the first two months he would not nurse, so I had to pump to get all my milk in his belly!
Now that he is a great nurser, I could not live without a nursing pillow! This is such an awesome giveaway…I’d LOVE to use everything and the extra nursing pillow would be a wonderful gift for someone very dear.
I couldn’t live without my nipple cream, breast pads and nursing tanks !
My husband who has always been supportive, the lactation room at work where I have pumped for my last 4 children and now the latest.
My LC is my reason I love breastfeeding! Her and my pillow!!
I just found out I’m pregnant with my second child (my first just turned 12)! When my daughter was born, she didn’t latch correctly because she’d sucked her thumb in utero. I wouldn’t have gotten through it without the La Leche League to teach me how to correct her latch and guide her to suckle properly, saving my nipples and our breastfeeding relationship. She continued to nurse until she was 2 1/2, despite naysayers who were certain I’d give up in the first few weeks.
My nursing pillow and nipple cream were must-haves!
reusable breastpads
nursing bra, definitely! ive tried without it and its impossible!
just signed up for the newsletter!
A pump for sure! Takes the edge off in the beginning without mom and baby getting frustrated. A good, supportive husband and nursing cami are essential too.
fb fan of inhabitots angela ross heffner
I guess the one thing I couldn’t live without would be nice cream to get through the first week, atleast that’s how it was for the last two. Not sure I’ll need any this time around
Nursing bra/cami and a comfy pillow!
I couldn’t live without my Boppy pillow!
My boppy, helps relax and be comfortable!
I couldn’t be without my nursing cover. It give us privacy and helps eliminate distractions!
I couldnt live without my freezer so I can store this liquid gold for those wonderful nights out!
A good pump
I couldn’t live without My Brest Friend!
I can’t llive without my bradvo nursing bras. they are a need, not a want!
I need this!…I am due in April and I had a difficult time nursing with my first daughter, and I want to set myself up for success with my 2nd.
I can’t live without my extra pumps! Its SO SO SO wonderful having 2 sets so that when I get up in the AM I am able to pump and go and still have what I need for work that day!!! Thank goodness for extras!
Can’t live without a good nursing pillow
Nipple Shield and tons of water
Lanolin!
The pads and pump was a life saver. Now my oldest daughter is having her first baby due in January. They will be her life savers also.
