MUST HAVES TO SET UP A BREASTFEEDING STATION IN THE NURSERY

1. LOOK FOR THE PERFECT SPOT

Designing the perfect nursery means making the most of the space so it can meet your needs. A nursery should have an area for sleeping, diapering, and feeding. Ideally, the nursing nook should have an electrical outlet, space for the nursery chair and side table, and an ottoman.

2.GET A COMFORTABLE NURSERY CHAIR

The nursery chair is definitely the most important piece of furniture in the breastfeeding station. Over the next few years, you'll spend so much time in this chair feeding, snuggling, and reading with the baby, so getting the most comfortable nursery chair is at the top of the list.

3. ADD A SIDE TABLE

Another essential piece of furniture for every breastfeeding station is a side table. You'll need a place to drop your phone and keep your glass of water and other essentials nearby.

4. PICK AN OTTOMAN

No breastfeeding station is truly complete without an ottoman or a footstool. It can help you position the baby for breastfeeding and as a place to rest your tired feet.

5. GET A BREASTFEEDING CADDY

When creating the perfect breastfeeding station, bringing in storage to store breastfeeding essentials can help keep the nursing nook organized and decluttered. To make the breastfeeding station more organized, we like to get a caddy or even a basket to hold all the necessities.

6.STOCK WITH BREASTFEEDING ESSENTIALS

Setting up a well-stocked breastfeeding station means having all the necessary breastfeeding essentials nearby. These items can help ensure breastfeeding success.
