    NowWhat
    I remember after I had my daughter and was finished breastfeeding - I thought my milk was dried up - my husband found out it wasn't! I was so embarrassed.

    I would definitely invest in breast pads, lanolin ointment and a good electric pump.
    They make a world of difference.

    See if there is a midwife clinic nearby. You might be able to get a great one, as my wife did, at a discount and then resell it back. Best damn 250 we spent during and after the pregnancy.

    Yes, Nowwhat, good advice. Lansinoh is what we used for when I was breastfeeding(and will use again this time) and we discovered that not only does it work miracles for sore nipples(and you don't have to wash it off before baby eats, as its perfectly safe for them to swallow) but it also is a miracle worker for diaper rash. My son has exzema and this was the only thing that we could use to immediately clear up his rash. Nothing else worked. So it would definitely be a good investment.
