- [Product Reviews](https://breastfeedingneeds.com/category/product-reviews) - Once I became pregnant with my daughter the shopping obsession began! I can't count how many hours I have spent obsessively reading product reviews and researching everything baby. One area where I really didn't do a lot of research was related to breastfeeding. I knew I wanted to breastfeed because it was recommended as best for baby. Other than that I didn't know much. I looked into pumps and picked a nursing pillow and that was pretty much it. Well that changed once baby was here. Breastfeeding started off rocky for me but we made it and as I have nursed both kids I have researched, bought and used many products. This includes everything from pumps to the best breastfeeding apps. Everything I review is something I have personally used, have tried or am familiar with and want to share. My goal is to help other new moms navigating the world of baby stuff learn about helpful items. If there is something out there that you are wondering about or would like me to review please let me know. I am always searching for the next great thing!

There are different things to expect at different times, nursing your newborn in the hospital is going to be very different than nursing a one year old.
