Isabelly's Profile

I ended up moving the rocking chair into the living room so I could nurse and watch TV, but to make things easier, I also repurposed a diaper caddy as my nursing caddy, and carried it around the house with me as needed so I could nurse anywhere. After a couple of weeks of nursing and tweaking the contents, it contained the following:

Nursing reference book
A book to read for fun
Lanolin, lip balm, and hand lotion
My journal and a pen
My Nintendo DS
Baby nail clippers
My own nail file and clippers
Breast pads
A water bottle
Burp cloth
Granola bars or trail mix
Cell phone

My baby is nine weeks old now, and we're both better at nursing and less tied to one spot while we fumble around with stuff, so the nursing caddy doesn't follow me around as much and it has less items (but a greater variety of books) in it now. That said, it was a life-saver in the first six weeks or so.
