[quote=vtgirl1993]If you can afford a doula, mother's helper or sitter, then do it b/c it will help so much. Even if all you do is nap, it'll be worth it. I agree w/ other posters that DH should help w/ feedings while you sleep. Lack of sleep can mess w/ your milk and reduce it, so pumping just once or twice a day so DH has a bottle will be a lifesaver. www.kellymom.com has a lot of great BFing info. Have a ton of burp clothes everywhere w/in reach b/c baby will spit up all over the place - you, the couch, the floor, the dog, etc. Set up mini-BFing stations around the house and stock them w/ water, snacks, reading materials, burp cloths, diapers...anything you think you might need during feedings. This is so you're not stuck starving and staring at a wall while baby suckles for 30 minutes.[/quote]
