• Brest Friend Pillow: As a first time mom, it was so difficult learning how to hold a baby with the proper latch. It can be so painful; but the support of this pillow gave my shoulders a break and my nipple.
• Month Pass at Fourth Tri for Movement and Recovery: Taking care of myself and baby always felt like such a choice, but being at Fourth Tri, I could move my body, take a shower and get a massage while spending time with my newborn. If I was doing something, I knew that they were being taken care of by real professionals and I did not have to stress about managing timing for nursing and napping. It was all so easy. 
• An oversized cardigan for cozy warmth between nursing sessions: Welcoming guests is one of the best times of having a newborn, but it is great to have an easy way to cover up while nursing or staying cozy when napping.
• Photo session at Fourth Tri so that I didn't have to organize my house; but I got great photos of my little baby with me after I took a shower
• Slipper socks: I could keep these on while sitting on the couch and I had a January baby so being at home and cozy was the vibe for while. 

Honestly, time with a trusted friend to just sit while I was alone at my house was the best gift. I just would make a list of who I felt comfortable and relaxed with and would ask them to come over.
