Ideas for breastfeeding basket

Hi,
A close friend is giving birth soon and I want to gift her a breastfeeding basket she can grab quickly, full of stuff you need when you're stuck under a newborn.
I've thought of Lansinoh cream, hydrogel pads, phone charger, chocolate.
What else?
Thanks :)

One of those power pack chargers.

Surely she will already have lots of these. Get her some lovely dark, dairy free chocolates for when someone tells her to go dairy free.

Just in case she or her baby struggles to breastfeed, I would stick to things which you need either way.

Interested in this thread?

I came on to say same as above. That she may not be able to breastfeed. Get crackers, nuts, oat bars, chocolate bars and chocolate rice cakes from Lidl. Yummy.

Can you make a little card with contact details for local breastfeeding support groups/numbers? So often women just aren't aware of what's available to help, and HVs/midwives don't always give the greatest advice.

If you get a bottle, one with a straw is fab, as then you can drink lying down, if you are bf at night.

Great breastfeeding advice book like The Womanly Art by La Leche
