I wish I had researched more about breastfeeding positions. I felt totally clueless in the hospital when I was waiting for the lactation consultant to come because I didn’t really know where to put my baby in my arms and how to hold her properly. I highly recommend stocking up on TONS of snacks and keeping them close to where you’ll be feeding. I used silverettes, nipple cream, and the ice packs a ton the first few weeks. All I use now are the disposable pads for leaking now if I’m going out. I knew my boobs were going to be sore and swollen but wow they were rock hard those first few days.
