[quote=jloukiss]First, congratulations and good luck!! Second, don't stress. Breastfeeding is hard--but you can totally do it. The Breastfeeding center (on K street downtown) is a great resource. Pat Shelley, the lactation consultant, makes house calls. As for the prep... don't worry about it now. You can buy what you need later. Especially in the first few weeks you should not be wearing a nursing bra (you will be engorged, most likely and the bra will be tight, which can cause clogged ducts). Instead I wore a sleep bra until things settled down. Medela makes them. I needed to wear one every night, partly for support and partly to keep my breast pads in place. I also really liked the nursing tanks. I bought some from target the last time around. This time (baby due in 6 weeks) I treated myself to a Bravado nursing tank. They are more expensive, but much better quality. Best wishes!![/quote]
