When you reach the third trimester, you'll most likely begin stockpiling nursing bras and breast pumps.

For the following months, I'll be wearing pads and loose button-down shirts. While preparing to breastfeed, you may also develop your personal place, a specially created breast feeding environment for yourself.

Your nursing station should be a reflection of your personality.

If you like a noisy yet welcoming environment, consider setting up in a corner of the living room or family room. Keep an additional chair or two nearby so that relatives or friends may keep you company.

A comfortable study or unoccupied guest room might be excellent if you like solitude & quiet. Close the door, lower the lights, and take a few deep, relaxing breaths while breastfeeding.

Your own own chair

Whether it's a glider, overstuffed recliner, or a desk chair with wheels, your nursing chair should be quite comfy. You'll be sitting on the chair for hours each day, so it should be really comfy. Always search for one that has back and shoulder support, as well as arm rests.

Support underfoot

To elevate your feet when breastfeeding, use a footstool, low coffee table, or a stack of cushions. You may avoid back pain by raising your legs and feet to bring your baby to your breast.


Pillows and more pillows

Your neck, arms, feet, and back will want as much support as you can provide, so don't be afraid to wrap your body in pillows. If you place a cushion over your lap for your baby to lie on, he'll be considerably more comfortable and closer to your breast. You may even get a specifically designed breastfeeding pillow that will wrap your waist for added comfort.

Table for one

Keep a small table or stand at arm's reach of your breast feeding chair at all times.
It should be large enough to contain a coaster and a glass of beverage. Some ladies drink through a straw, while others sip directly from the glass.
You should also keep nutritious snacks on hand, like as fresh fruit, almonds, or crackers and peanut butter, to help you replace the energy you use while breastfeeding.


Distractions

If your kid is a sluggish eater or has a voracious appetite, you may want to entertain yourself while he eats. To keep yourself occupied until your baby is satisfied, load the shelves of a neighboring cabinet or bookshelf with your favorite books or crossword puzzles. You should also have a phone handy so that you may pass the time by talking to family or friends.
