Breastfeeding: Comfortable Set Up

You might be wondering what this has to do with breastfeeding. Well, the more comfortable and relax a mom is the better her nursing session might go. If you're uncomfortable, how long are you really going to keep trying to do something that might take time and / or be challenging at first?

Setting up a nursing area in a nursery can also be a fun project for the mom to be to take on. Even a mother / parents who are practicing bottle feeding for whatever reason can still take advantage of having a feeding area in their nursery. A mom who is bottle feeding can still practice skin to skin while offering her baby a bottle and what better place to do it then an a relaxed atmosphere designed for mother and baby's comfort?

Nursing Chair & Table

A comfortable place for you to sit while breastfeeding. Place the nursing chair and side table in a comfortable location where you can use them easily and in a place you will nurse often in. For example, I have a nursing chair for the living room and for the nursery (at one point the one in nursery was in my bedroom). The side table can also be used for additional storage, for nursing gear such as extra nursing covers, breast pads and a place to use your breast pump, if you have one when it is not being used. You could also add a lamp on top of it to be soft lighting while nursing at night in a dark room.

Nursing Caddy

A nursing caddy can be created out of a basket, a storage bin, a diaper caddy or even a desk top organizer. This will allow you to keep your nursing items - nipple creams, breast pads... and feeding items, such as burp cloths - in an easy to reach place. It can also serve as a place for mom to keep non perishable snacks. I also recommend, especially for new moms, a breastfeeding book that they can have on hand to review nursing tips and techniques.

Frida Mom for Post Laparoscopy Care

My Frida Mom Basket for Post-Laparoscopy Care. Why I Love the Frida Mom Line (Even Beyond Motherhood) One of the things I’ve really come to appreciate is how versatile the Frida Mom line is—not just for new moms, but for anyone recovering from abdominal surgeries, such as laparoscopies for endometriosis. After surgery, comfort and gentle care are everything. That’s where the C-section recovery underwear comes in. Even if you haven’t had a baby, the design makes sense—when you have incisions on your abdomen, you need something soft, high-waisted, and non-restrictive. These disposable underwears are a lifesaver compared to standard disposable Depends. The big difference? You can build your own pad system . Start with the underwear. Add a menstrual pad. Layer on a witch hazel perineal liner, perineal cream, or both. Attach an optional heating pad for cramping. It’s completely customizable depending on what your body needs that day. I also want to mention the liners pack...

Skin sensitivity may impact your experiences with these products. Recovering from my laparoscopy has been a journey, and honestly, some days are more uncomfortable than others. Over the past week, I’ve found a few products that have made a huge difference in how I feel—both physically and mentally. Here’s what’s been helping me get through it: 1. Body Wash That Feels Safe Before and after surgery, I wanted something gentle that still felt clean. I’ve been using Dove Antibacterial Body Wash , and it’s been perfect.
