Buy a breast pump

Weather you are planning on breast feeding only, buy a pump. You will get so engorged at some point that you will want to pump out the excess milk. You don’t need a fancy one if you are not returning to work. Buy a single pump that the bottle fits right onto. When you are ready to give your baby a bottle you can use the breast milk that you pumped instead of formula. You can also use your pumped milk to mix in the baby’s cereal instead of formula. You can also freeze your breast milk to use later down the road. I froze a good supply so when I was done breast feeding my baby still got breast milk for a few weeks. A pump comes in handy if you have to wean your baby off the breast and onto formula. You will start with mostly breast milk and a little formula your first bottle and continue to have less breast milk and more formula until you are at all formula. A lot of babies won’t go straight to formula, you are lucky if they do.
