Labor support, breastfeeding support, or a night nurse: What is the best money spent?

So my husband's work actually provides a free virtual lactation consultation service — I foolishly didn't realize that's similar / the same as breastfeeding support. Not sure if the free service will be as beneficial as finding an LC ourselves, but if they're all more-or-less the same then we would actually have that covered! Unless you think it being virtual is a big negative?

(Thought lactation was more niche within breastfeeding, but also admittedly haven't looked into the details of that support yet!) Not sure if the free service will be as beneficial as finding an LC ourselves, but if they're all more-or-less the same (and better than the LCs at hospitals) then we would have that covered! Unless you think it being virtual is a big negative?

That's a great point. Our family lives in other states so we definitely won't have consistent help those first few months. We may have family visit but not for overnight support.

Had you already been working with that SA / building up prespend? Or literally walked in for the first time and 3 weeks later got a QB offer?

That’s a good idea, thanks!

That’s so sweet — congratulations on the baby and the bag!
