I am almost done with my nursing pre-requisites and hope to enroll in the nursing program in the spring! My grandma is a RN and subscribes to this Nursing Magazine and has since 2005. She usually just gives me her copies when she is done reading them but this time for Christmas she got me a subscription. I also found a website where this magazine can be bought online:  http://www.magsn.com...

Dermasense Maternity Nursing Comfort is an all natural and organic product that helps to heal sore, dry and cracked nipples. It is hypoallergenic, lanoline, petrolatum, perfume and paraben free. I was using Lansinoh but decided to give this a try due to fact that all of the ingredients are natural and organic, especially since my baby could potentially get a little of it in his mouth.  Der...

  This is the best nursing pillow and a must have if you are nursing.  I used a Boppy with my son and daughter and liked that a lot, but when I had my daughter, a friend gave me her My Brestfriend because she only used it once and quit nursing.  This is much superior to the other nursing pillow, in my opinion.  I believe this because it is thicker and I think there is foam i...

I received a box of Disposable Nursing Pads made by The First Years as a baby shower gift.  I have tried a few other brands of nursing pads with my first child, but I had never tried The First Years, so I was very anxious to see how well they would work for me.The best thing about them is that they're packaged with two pads wrapped together, a great way to keep them clean so that you c...

If you think finding a good bra is hard try finding a good bra right after you have a baby.  My normally plus size breast went a little haywire and turned into 40 F's.  I didn't even know bras came in that size.I needed to go out and buy new bras that held my breasts in place while still allowing me comfortable access to nurse my daughter while home and pump milk while at work...

I have been trying out many different brands of nursing pads lately because I am a new mom breastfeeding my little baby. I have been having my husband buy the boxes of pads because I have not been able to get out of the house to shop for myself. Whenever he makes a run to town he picks me up a box of whatever the store carries.  He brought home these Johnson's nursing pa...

I have been going through a lot of nursing pads lately. I have been picking up any brand I can find, and have gone through two boxes of these Lansinoh nursing pads so far. Overall, I would say these pads work well, but are nothing special compared to all the other pads I have tried. You get 66 pads for this price, which I have found to be about average.  Each nursing pad comes in its ...

When I decided to breastfeed my two sons, I didn't want to have the hassle of washing and drying reusable breast pads. The disposables seemed like the perfect choice. They cost $5.97 for a box of 72, which isn't too costly. The breastpads soak up most of the breastmilk, only when you are engorged or just starting out do you really leak out of them. They are pretty comfortable, although ...

Before having my daughter I never realized how important good nursing pads are. I tried a few different kinds and the Johnson's nursing pads are a very good choice. These pads are not very expensive and last a long time. One of the things I loved about these pads was the sticky section that makes sure the pads do not move around in the bra. They also do not bunch up and have the right "...

The Curity pads were the first one's I tried due to them being the cheapest one's there. I bought a pack of 36 just to try them. These pads are large and can hold a good amount of liquid but I did find that I leaked through them a few times. They are a lot thinner than most pads. Also they are not as soft as others and have an edging on them which makes them pretty visible through a thi...

Johnson's Nursing Pads is a good product to have for breastfeeding moms to prevent embarrassing leaks. I've been breastfeeding my son for over 7 months now and I've been using Johnson's Nursing Pads for about 6 months. The pads are very thick and super absorbant. I have not experienced any leakage using these pads. They have an adhesive on the back so you can stick the...

I needed new nursing bras after having my daughter as my previous ones were over 2 years old and had been used a lot; they were still fine for use around the house, but I wanted some new ones to wear out in public.  It can be very difficult to find any selection of nursing bras, my last ones were purchased at Target, but I couldn't find any the last time I was there, so I checked out W...

I have always had a bad back.  It was always hard to find a comfortable position to breastfeed.  This stool was truly a backsaver.  It helps to elevate and angle your feet in a way that takes stress off your back, shoulders and neck.  I used this while sitting on the couch or in my glider rocker.  I found that I could sit longer in the same position without getting sore...

If you're applying to any public Registered Nursing program then you might know about the TEAS test. It's a test you need to pass to even qualify to be accepted into a nursing school. It covers science, English, and math (basic algebra). The book the teacher suggested was about $50, I don't have that kind of money. I found this book to be at my budget at less than $20. I was a littl...

George's Nursing Pillow is a wonderful breastfeeding aid. It also makes a nice baby shower gift. A friend gave me mine. I used it the entire time I feed my firstborn. I am now using it to nurse my second child. It frees my hands to do other things while I nurse my girl. It is in the u shape so it wraps around my body with ease. That is useful because I nurse her at least ...

When I gave birth to my daughter, I knew that I was going to be breastfeeding. Little did I know that at times, your breasts can have a mind of their own and decide to leak whenever, whereever. I headed to Walmart to look for something that could remedy this problem. I discovered Gerber Breastfeeding bra pads. I bought a big box of these, knowing that I would go through many per day. The price ...

Curity's Ultra Nursing Pads are great for any nursing mothers like me. On the back is a sticky part that will attach to the bra itself to keep it in one place. It can aborb a lot of breast milk if I am overflowing. It also does good at keeping the milk in when it is not needed. The shape of the pad is fits a large area. It also does not show so I do not have to worry about anyone else notic...

This book was given to me by my cousin when I was pregnant with my daughter and contemplating the whole breast feeding adventure.  My cousin swears by this book and refers to it as the "Breastfeeding Bible".I did read the book while pregnant and was overwhelmed by how many issues can arise while breastfeeding. Honestly, I tossed the book aside and was going to donate it to Goodwi...

This is the "Petite Double Electric Breast Comfort System with SoftComfort Massaging Breast Cups" I bought this pump quickly with out doing any research because it looked like it would be a good choice for the money. I brought it home, put it together, and started to pump. Half an hour later I had no milk. The pump was very loud, I could not relax while pumping because of the noi...

This is the second pregnancy I have purchased the Target brand maternity/ nursing bras. You can spend up to $50 on other maternity bras but why when you can have the same quality, comfort and design from a bra from Target for a 1/4 of the price. Most maternity bras I have purchased are ugly but not this one. It has nice lace type pattern on the top of the bra. It has an easy open front for one ...
