Ask your OB if there's a class or lactation consultant in your area. That's how I got started. You'll need the support so might as well line 'em up now. And get a book. Amazon will probably guide you to the best ones. I liked my cross over elastic maternity bra rather than the snap kind. Definitely buy some lanisoe cream for your nipples. I bought the pads but then didn't need them. Manual pumps are a waste of money. If you are returning to work, get an electric one--the best you can afford. ↑
