I'm putting together a basket of nice and useful stuff for when feeding, as a present for my friend to give to her at baby shower... But dispite DS being only 11 months, I am struggling to remember!! Someone did one for me and it was so useful to have everything in one place that I could just grab as I sat down to feed...

Am thinking nice bottle for water, sweets/biscuits/chocolate, lip balm, lansinoh cream... But what else?!?! Any ideas or suggestions?!?!

Remote control.

Seriously, every single time I settled down to feed, it was alwats out of friffing reach. Without fail.

Hahaha, totally true for me too! I remember everytime sitting down, getting settled, and then remembering the remote...

Tissues (needing to blow nose and no tissues to hand. very annoying), muslin cloths, mini muffins, maybe one of those mini clip on book lights/ night lights for reading during night feeds.

Lansinoh Therapearl? That helped me hugely when I was getting engorged and also with mastitis.

A long handled grabber thingy for getting the sodding remote perhaps.....?

I had a little mini fan which was great when I was feeding in the summer as I'd get really hot.

A v shaped pillow? I tried all the expensive special feeding ones and none of them were comfy. I still use my 7quid ikea v shaped one for propping me and the baby up at 3 months in, but it was a godsend when newborn. They sell them everywhere And dunelm sell good pillowcases in Different Colours.
Breastpads? I like the Johnson's one's and they're pretty pricey when you start buying them a lot. I got my last lot from ocado when they were on special offer.
Yy to biscuits and chocolate, but also mini packs of dried fruit and nuts are good so she's getting some fibre, and protein.
Handcream? My hands are constantly dry and old lady like from all the extra hand washing when nappy changing.
