Nursing tips for my friends who are expecting:

* Purchase three nursing bras and keep them in the bathroom.  Whenever you are able to sneak in a shower, take the one you're wearing in with you and wash it with soap.  When you get out, you'll have a clean one to wear; and you can hang the other one up to dry.  The third one?  It's so you'll have a

You got it! I just wasn't doing laundry often enough to keep up.

I was washing the darn things by hand in the sink before or after the showers, which is time consuming and frustrating. Washing them in the shower would be so much easier!

Well, we're still using a nipple shield, which isn't ideal; but we are breastfeeding, and that was the goal, right? This has been the hardest thing I've ever done.

I always though that burping rags were a bit redundant. I did cloth diapers ... so I always had a "burp rag" type item handy. I used the old style cloh diapers that were basically just big bsorbent pcs of cloth that you had to oragami fold ... they were roughly the size of those thin baby blankets that you are probably using. I agree , they work much better , just using the one big blanket/diaper than a zillion small rags.

The washing bra in the shower is tres brilliant :)

Thanks, I came up with it myself!
