Breastfeeding: the essentials for a good start

Breastfeeding is a unique journey that deserves to be experienced with serenity and comfort. From the very first days, being well-prepared makes things easier, builds confidence and helps you get off to a good start. At 23 Mai Paris , we've selected the really useful equipment to accompany your first moments of breastfeeding, while remaining true to our ambition: to make you feel beautiful, supported and at ease.

1. The essentials for settling baby in comfort

Getting off to a good start requires the right installation. A breastfeeding cushion or a good support can improve your posture, relieve your back and make it easier for baby to latch on.
A well-designed, comfortable and easy-to-open nursing top can also make a difference: it allows you to breastfeed gently without any hang-ups.

2. The support your breasts need

Breasts change rapidly after birth. An underwire-free nursing bra, easy to open with one hand, is a real ally. Absorbent nursing pads prevent the little inconveniences associated with leaks and ensure greater comfort in everyday life.

3. Store, pull, express: useful accessories

Depending on your breastfeeding plan, certain accessories may be useful:

• A breast pump (manual or electric) can come in handy if you want to pass on the baton, pump milk or relieve your breasts.

• Bottles or bags to store breast milk safely.
  This equipment is not compulsory for all mothers, but can be integrated into a mixed breastfeeding project or when returning to work.

4. Clothes designed for breastfeeding

Beyond technical accessories, thinking about your wardrobe is also a gesture of kindness towards yourself. Choosing nursing tops or pullovers with discreet openings, soft fabrics and cuts designed for maternity nursing, means opting for a more fluid, elegant and comfortable experience.

Conclusion

Embarking on breastfeeding is an adventure full of tenderness, learning and often questioning. Equipping yourself with the essentials doesn't guarantee everything, but it does create a framework conducive to confidence, comfort and serenity. At 23 Mai Paris, we're with you every feed. With clothes and accessories designed with you in mind, we help you live your maternity with style and softness.
