Boobies....obviously

Muslin cloths, to wipe up puke and cover your dignity

Good breastpads (I like Tommee Tippee and Boots slimline ones best)

Kamillosan, in case you get sore or cracked nipples, can also be used as bottom cream so multifunctional

Feeding bras

Nighties with poppers down the front are useful but not essential

I think buying a breastpump and steriliser can wait till you see how things are once baby is born but are useful if you're determined.




Good luck babe
