Breastfeeding: essential tips and accessories for breastfeeding moms

Breastfeeding is a unique journey, which sometimes requires a little organization, a few tricks and a sense of well-being. To accompany this stage with peace of mind, it's useful to equip yourself with the right accessories and adopt a few simple reflexes.
We believe that every mother deserves to feel comfortable, supported and stylish while breastfeeding. Here are our tips and recommendations to help you do just that.

1. Choosing the right nursing accessories

For a comfortable breastfeeding experience, certain accessories make all the difference:

• A nursing top or sweater designed for easy access to the breast while remaining elegant.

• An underwired nursing bra that's comfortable and well-fitted to your shape.

• Absorbent or washable pads to prevent small leaks.

• A breast pump, storage bottles or bags if you plan to express milk.
  These items are not mandatory in all cases, but they contribute to a smoother experience.

2. Creating a serene breastfeeding environment

Organizing your space makes feeding much easier:

• Settle into a comfortable armchair or sofa with supportive cushions.

• Keep a bottle of water or herbal tea handy: hydration is essential.

• Choose the right outfit: a nursing top like those from 23 Mai Paris makes you feel comfortable and elegant at the same time.

• Don't hesitate to ask those around you for help: a simple gesture (holding a glass, adjusting a cushion) can often help you relax even more.

3. Accessories to suit your objectives

If you are exclusively breast-feeding

• A good nursing top or dress, for breastfeeding at home and on outings.

• A well-fitting nursing bra.

If you are planning to express milk or mixed breastfeeding

- A breast pump (manual or electric) depending on the frequency of use.
- Storage bags or bottles.
- A bra or top suitable for both feeding and expressing.

If you want to breastfeed in public or on the move

• Nursing tops with discreet openings.

• A light diaper or shawl for your mental comfort.

• A bag ready with essential accessories (water, pads, change of clothes).

Breastfeeding is a wonderful adventure that becomes sweeter when you're well prepared and equipped. By adopting a few reflexes, choosing the right accessories and surrounding yourself with support, you can live this period with greater comfort and pleasure.
