Being a new mother you already have about a zillion things to think about, and that is just before breakfast! So if you want to make your life a little easier, then you might like to think about a few resources (yes more!) that can help you manage breastfeeding your new treasure.

As a new mother I thought I wouldn't buy into the commercialism of motherhood and simply purchase only those basic necessities I felt I would need. Two weeks down the track I was online looking for the best gadgets to make my life a little easier.

It didn't help that I was running a business at the time. But that is one of the things that often comes with motherhood, a renewed sense of who you are and what you want to achieve in life. I viewed this insight as a gift, but wanted to ensure everything flowed smoothly and was as easy as I could make it.

So as I was breastfeeding my baby I wanted a breast pump so that I could pass him onto family members when I had to be somewhere else. Finding a good one that works for you can save you a lot of effort and give you time to be yourself so you can recharge and get back to being happy with your baby.

Breastfeeding Pump Bras are something you would think was invented as a torture device in the Victorian Era. They look so weird, and not something you really want to wear at the office! However as a tool they are hard to beat and give you hands-free pumping when you are relaxing at home. Just remember to save it for alone times!

A nursing cover was also very handy. When in public I wanted to be able to breastfeed no matter where I was without fear of being stared at by complete strangers. I found a nursing cover was much better than a sarong or a blanket as it was compact and lightweight.

If you are breastfeeding, make sure to consider these resources so that you can get on with your new life as a mother and a woman with purpose!
