A few readers and fellow mamas have requested a post about nursing and nursing wear, so in leu of National Breastfeeding Month I thought I would share what worked well for me the past 12 months. AND giveaway my favorite nursing cover from Covered Goods. Read on for more….
1. Don’t be surprised if it hurts (at first)
Breastfeeding hurts in the beginning. Your nipples are cracked and raw, your boobs are sore and letdowns can be painful at times. Just remember the first several weeks are the hardest. I remember thinking, will I ever be able to shower again without putting a washcloth over my nipples.
2. Moisturize those nipples.
I used Lanolin nipple ointment like it was going out of style. Thank god for amazon prime and two day shipping since I never left the house in the beginning.
3. Practice makes perfect (well sort of)
Just keep swimming, just keep swimming (as Nemo would say) Just keep nursing, just keep nursing. Don’t let a bad feeding get you down. Get support from other nursing moms, get online for support groups, or visit a lactation specialist. I did all of those. Whatever it takes to get you through the tough spots.
4. Invest in some comfy nursing tanks and bras! (you will be living in them)
This is a no brainer. These three bras I wore in rotation non-stop: sports nursing bra, more supportive nursing bra, boob design nursing bra. Nursing tanks were also something I wore non-stop. Think v-neck tees, stretchy tanks, button down shirts-all these are great for easy access.
5. Make sure you are eating enough and eating the right things!
It is so easy in the beginning to be consumed with everything baby and forget to take care of yourself. You may forget to eat or drink which can harm your supply. You need all the extra calories and fluids. I love Oat Mama’s bars for a good an easy snack or meal. Oat mama bars are packed with healthy nuts, oats, berries all that you need to keep your supply up. I love the fact they are egg free, wheat free, soy free, dairy free in case of any allergies.
I also took Fenugreek, which is a natural supplement that may increase milk supply. You can find it on Amazon or at Walgreens or CVS.
6. Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate!
It’s so important to drink plenty of water! I used this water bottle and drank a full one first thing when I woke up, then aim to drink 2-3 more throughout the day.
7. Pump, pump pump!
I had issues with my supply in the beginning. I went from being basketball size engorged to having no milk. In the beginning it takes time to establish a supply and it’s all about supply and demand. The first couple weeks my supply was low, Sutton would get frustrated and stop nursing. Therefore my boobs weren’t being told to make more milk so I had to pump to tell my body to make more. Once I started gaining more of a supply, I keep up my pumping and would pump every morning after her first nursing and then once in the evening and once more at 4am-so a total of three times a day in addition to her nursing. Doing so I created a major stock supply of milk. At one point my whole deep freeze was full of milk. This also gave me the freedom to go out on a date or go on work trips and I had plenty of milk at home for Sutton. I stopped pumping at around 7 months and stopped nursing all together just short of Sutton’s first birthday. I still have my freezer stocked full of milk and am grateful I can still offer her breastmilk.
Here is the pump I used that worked well for me. Check to see if your insurance covers the cost of your breast pump.
8. Make Sure You are Comfortable When Nursing
Ways to ensure comfort while breasting:
-Have someone help you get positioned early on as you are trying to get the hang of things. My mom helped me so much with this, she was an OB/GYN nurse for 30 years, so I was very lucky to have her. Ask your nurse at the hospital, they are there to help! I ended up liking the football hold for one side and the cradle hold for another.
-Make sure the baby is latched correctly so that it doesn’t cause discomfort for you. A nurse or lactation consultant can help. I would suggest to master the latch before leaving the hospital, you have the experts there to help so take advantage. Request the lactation consultant and nurses to help.
-Use a supportive pillow to nurse. I tried several different ones and this one from Bebe Au Lait was my favorite.
-Consider a good foot rest and comfortable chair. I remember shopping for one and I couldn’t get over how expensive they were! However, it was worth every penny. I spent to many hours and nights in that chair. I did get a neutral colored one so I can use for next baby’s nursery and not have to buy another.
9. Get a good nursing cover.
Want to know the oddest place I nursed? It was in a gymnasium on bleachers during a wedding. It was not the easiest but Sutton was only one month old and I had to. Having a good nursing cover makes all the different. The Covered Goods nursing cover is by far my favorite. First of all, it doesn’t just cover the front of me but it covers the back too. With other covers I often felt exposed on my sides and back as I nurse. The one covers all sides and your back. With Sutton moving around and grabbing at things, I felt reassured that I will still remained covered. It is also extremely comfortable, made of soft, stretchy fabric. The stretchy fabric allows for it to be worn multiple ways. Plus it can be used as a carseat cover, scarf and shopping cart cover! All nursing moms need one. See how to win one below!
10. Be Willing to Admit that Nursing Sucks sometimes!
Although breastfeeding can be an amazing bonding experience with your infant, at times it down right SUCKS…literally! That is why it is so important to have a strong support system and remember WHY you are breastfeeding your baby.
*It is the best nutrition for your baby.
*You are boosting your baby’s immune system with antibodies now and down the road!
*You may be increasing your baby’s IQ
*You are creating a special bonding experience for your baby.
*You may be decreasing your child’s risk of SIDS
*You may be decreasing your child’s risk for obesity later in life.
The list goes on!!
Breastfeeding was one of the hardest and best things I have ever done. Give it a chance…even a fighting chance. If things don’t end up working out the way you planned, know that you are still a great mother with your baby’s best interest in mind!
And last but not least the giveaway details for the Covered Goods nursing cover. To enter all you need to do is follow @cellajaneblog and @coveredgoods on instagram, and comment below letting me know you entered! Giveaway ends Wednesday 08/12 at 11:59 PM CST and winner will be announced via instagram!

I have heard great things about Covered Goods and would love one…. my little one and I really struggle with the public feeding thing as he is just all over the place. Sigh. Haha!
Following both! I agree in the beginning it was not easy I was happy to make it 6 months… then 12!
I entered!
I tried to comment but it didn't show after I submitted it. :/ so if you get it twice sorry! I entered the giveaway! Love my covered goods cover and want to gift one to my big sis if I win. She's inspired me as a mom and with breastfeeding. Support is another huge factor in breastfeeding along with great products 😉
I entered!!! Several of these have been my life savers the last 4 months with my daughter. I absolutely LOVE covered goods and I really want to gift my big sister with one. She's having her second baby in October and isn't much of a social media guru so I'd like to enter on her behalf. She's really inspired me as a mom and helped encourage me through the first weeks of breastfeeding even though we live 750 miles apart.
Love the tips for breastfeeding!

Great tips! I breastfed my first for a good year and really did love it. Yes, it was hard in the beginning, but so worth it. Now I'm due with number 2 and feeling way more nervous about breastfeeding. I think it's because I didn't know what was coming when I had my first. But what I do know is that I had amazing support and that's what got me through! Thanks for the opportunity to win one of these covers! I'm following you and @coveredgoods on insta as @hkaupert 🙂

I entered the give way & enjoyed all your comments on breastfeeding and wish I had one of these cover ups this past weekend. I attended a three day convention where I had to walk to a nursing room only to find no space and have to sit on the floor to nurse my 4 month old princess. I plan on nursing her minimally until she is a year old but considering doing that until she's two. Hoping for a win ��

I'm entered! I give Covered Goods nursing covers to all my friends as shower gifts now. I didn't know about them until I had already given up on Breastfeeding after a difficult first month and switched to pumping. However, it was a huge blessing for pumping! Road trips, planes, at my in-laws – I used it as much as I would have if I had been nursing. I'm due with baby #2 in September and looking forward to a second try at breastfeeding. Thanks for the tips!

This is a great post! I found breastfeeding really, really tough in the beginning. I'd sit there and try & try and cry & say "I hate this. How do women do this?" And I was unwilling to give up. And it turned out, I still dread the feeling of my milk letting down and my son is 6 months old – to me it's like nails on a chalkboard. But it's all SO worth it! My boy is doing great & I don't have to worry about the ingredients in formula!

Loved nursing my daughter but she was such a wiggle warm the nursing cover I used only covered the front, would love to win the contest to get the coveredgoods cover before my baby boy is due in just 8 short weeks ? I'm sure covering the front and back helps a ton! My Instagram is @brookie320

I'm currently breastfeeding my 3 week old. It hasn't been easy and we're dealing with an oversupply/fast let-down issue but I know it will be worth it in the long run! And it is great bonding time.
Entered! Thank you for all of the awesome tips. I'm due with my first in just four weeks so can use all the tips I can get 🙂

Entered! Thank you for all these wonderful tips and tricks. I am having my third baby in October and I can say breastfeeding is different with each baby. With my first after it came pretty natural and we had a few difficulties, but with my second baby we had trouble all the way through 9 months when I had to with to formula because my son was just not gaining weight.
Entered! Would love the chance to win for my new baby girl due in October! 🙂
Entered @morgs515 thanks for all the great tips!

Done! Breastfeeding was so much harder than I imagined it was going to be. My third was the hardest. I got mastitis the it cut my milk supply in half! But we are still going strong.
Thanks!

Entered! As a first time mama I found this post both helpful and encouraging. I want to breastfeed as long as possible and it isn't easy so any advice like this makes it seem possible!

Hello! I would like to enter this contest. I'm going to be a mom for a second time and nursing is what I miss most about the "baby days". I look sooooo forward to being able to connect and bond with my new little.

I nursed my oldest for 16 months before I got pregnant with my second. I breastfed my second child for almost 3 years! She just weaned herself and I MISS it so much! A friend of mine is expecting her first baby and she is wanting to breastfeed. I'm so excited for her because she has been asking me for tips and I'm looking forward for her experience with nursing. This would make an awesome baby shower gift 🙂
Thanks for a chance, xoxo
Entered … Fingers crossed??

Thanks for the tips. It's only been almost 4 weeks but nursing has not been the easiest. It is getting better bet have yet to find a good cover. Just like coveredgoods as well☺️
These are such great tips – I'm pinning for future reference. 😉 And can't wait to shop for for a chic nursing cover when the time comes!
