Top 5 Breastfeeding Essentials




Before your baby arrives there are many things that you can plan and prepare for. Breastfeeding is one of them. You’ll find lots of breastfeeding essentials on the market to help make it easier and more comfortable for you

1) Nursing - a nursing cover was a must! Preferably a big one which is able to hide almost everything. Our mums recommend choosing one that's made of thin material so it's suitable for Singapore's hot weather.

2) Nursing tea - which is a mix of herbs that can help you increase and maintain your breast milk supply. There are many different types of this tea using blended herbs such as fennel, stinging nettle and flavours like chamomile. Speak with your doctor if you are going to start taking a herbal supplement.

3) Nipple cream - having a good nipple cream to moisturise sore or cracked nipples. This is a very common complaint from breastfeeding mums and can be very sore.

4) Nursing wear - Nursing bras and nursing tops are essential for easy access so you don't have to lift up your shirt from the waist up.

5) Support - support was a must-have during their time breastfeeding.
