EASE INTO BREASTFEEDING
Tips from the pros
HELEN SCHÖER, EDITOR OF YOUR PREGNANCY:
“Breastfeeding cushions really save your back while you’re still getting the hang of it. Your growing baby will love playing with the cushion on the floor.”
KARIN, BABY CITY AREA MANAGER:
“Check with your medical aid before buying a breast pump, as some medical aids cover the cost.”
ROBYN LAWRENSON, DEPUTY EDITOR OF YOUR PREGNANCY:
“Go for seamless maternity bras. Your breasts will fluctuate in size a lot during the first eight weeks as your body adjusts to your milk supply. Seamless bras move with you, so you won’t feel restricted.”
YOLANDI JORDAAN, DEPUTY EDITOR OF BABA & KLEUTER:
“I bought a good electric pump with my first baby. I used it for all three of my children. Don’t go cheap! With my third I bought a manual pump as well, to easily and quickly express when we’re out or when there’s no power.”
