That sounds like an adorable poster! I know that when I was preparing for breastfeeding, one of my biggest concerns was having the right equipment. It's such a relief to have everything you need at hand and not stress about it - especially during those first few weeks!
Wouldn't mind seeing some pictures too!

It was such a relief for me too when I finally settled on a breastfeeding setup that worked best for me and my baby. I didn't have to stress about leakage or having enough milk because I had a pump that I loved, and that made all the difference!

I'll dig up some photos of the poster I made with all my pumping essentials. Would love to hear your recommendations too since those first few weeks are such a blur - I'm sure there's so many great products out there!

That would be great - it's so helpful to have a visual of must-have items, especially when people are preparing for their first child! I found that having a cozy and versatile nursing shawl was an absolute godsend. Woven from soft fabric that kept my baby warm and provided just the right amount of cover when feeding in public, it also doubled up as a light blanket or a snuggly scarf for me!

Also, I'm keen to hear about good pumping options - I had so much trial and error with mine and would love to hear recommendations to pass onto my friends now!

A nursing shawl sounds like a great idea - versatile and comfortable!

As for pumping, I found the Portable Breast Pump a lifesaver. It's rechargeable and lightweight, which made it easy to use wherever and whenever. It has multiple settings too, which helped me pump efficiently and comfortably.

I also loved that it came with a compact cooler bag. It kept my milk fresh and was so handy for when I was on the go. Definitely recommend giving it a go!

The multitudes of uses of the nursing shawl is an absolute godsend, especially for the clueless new mom. Save one's breath for the real work then, like scolding the hubby for not doing enough to help. Ha! But seriously, it's a must-have and worth every cent!

I couldn't agree more about the nursing shawl - it really is versatile! I remember using it to shade myself from the sun and even as an impromptu blanket when I ran errands with my newborn on cooler days. Definitely a great investment and worth packing in the hospital bag too. And yes, let's not forget about conserving energy for the real work - like keeping hubby in check .
