RECOMMENDATIONS

Boppy New Born Lounger - this was great for the first month or so. They're awake and asleep so often that it's hard to keep running them into cradle and then back out again but this offered more of a secure spot for them to sleep (even though it says not to let them sleep on it - it's just for resting.) It would also work well in a large bed for them to sleep raised above you but right there.

Swaddle Me - great for that first month when it's difficult to swaddle them in just a blanket.

Sleep Sack - great for after they grow out of the swaddle me. Better than the sleep sacks w/ the sleeves because they sleeves tend to be to big until the very end of the size and bunch up. Layer with either a onesie or a sleeper.

Some sort of vibrating chair - if it plays music even better, but once they're awake more, it's nice to have them be entertained while you cook, clean, get back to a somewhat normal life.

My Brest Friend - incredibly ridiculous name but this worked much better for me than the Boppy. This 'pillow' is made of foam; the Boppy is stuffed, so baby can kind of sink in to the boppy. Was an issue for me but I know the Boppy worked great for other nursing moms.

Lansinoh - I would not have continued nursing without this product.

Bumbo - great to help with supported sitting. Right now (6months) we're short a dining room/kitchen table so we use this with the tray to feed the boy.
