10 Products for Breastfeeding Moms

You're a new, nursing mama, and suddenly your boobs are baby's business. But as you've probably heard -- or experienced firsthand already -- breastfeeding isn't always easy. Here, nursing products that can help. (Pssst: Mama-to-be: Put these items on your registry!)

My Brest Friend
What it is: A breastfeeding support pillow

Why you need it: Because nursing is hard! Take it from experienced moms and lactation consultants everywhere: When you and your new babe are just (or, let's be honest, not quite) getting the hang of that whole latching-on-while-doing-a-football-hold thing, a nursing support pillow is a must-have. We like the shelf-like stability -- not to mention the cute slipcover options -- of the My Brest Friend original pillow. (Bonus: the company also makes a pillow for nursing twins as well as an inflatable travel pillow.)
