Here is some wisdom (ha,ha) from a very new mom:
Best products so far:
Pack N Play Bassinet (conveniently setup in our bedroom to make diaper changes accessible)
Boppy Pillow (the best for postioning for breastfeeding)
Hobbit Breast Shells (for giving those sore ones a break)
Medically pure lanolin (see above)
Bravado Nursing Bra (especially good for us larger gals)
Breastpump (hospital gave me hand one and I bought unit to make it electric)
For breastfeeding:
Get this book, "The Nursing Mother's Companion", before you deliver. It would have helped me immensely.
Make a nest; pillows for back, foot stool, table setup with water bottle, lip ointment, notepad to keep feeding & changing log, burp cloths, breast pump, breastpads
Also make sure you have atleast three of everything (one to use, one in wash, one on standby). I had this problem with nightgowns and quilted waterproof pads. It helps if you have a mom willing to run around and shop for you.
