How to choose a nursing bra: When to shop, and how to figure out your size Choosing the best nursing bra for you depends on a few factors: your bust size, your style preferences (like sport, bralette, and hooks versus no hooks) and when you plan to wear it (daytime, nighttime, for exercising or just around the house). You're also going to want something comfortable with a good fit, and that you can maneuver easily. Trust me, you don't want to be fussing with snaps for long when you have a hungry baby on your hands. 

'Every single person who had the privilege of meeting jagger will never forget him. He was that special,' she said with pride, adding, 'If you're reading this and you don't have a pet, you might be thinking "it's just a dog." Like I maybe used to. But I can tell you you're wrong. So f***ing wrong.

I registered for a regular old baby nail clipper, figuring, I know how to clip nails, how hard could it be? At least for me, it wasn't that it was necessarily difficult, but scary - newborns are squirmy, and their nails are so tiny, that I was terrified to go near them with a clipper. Not to mention that newborn nails grow surprisingly fast and need to be trimmed often, lest your Wolverine-in-training scratch themself in the face. This battery-powered electric nail clipper is a lifesaver: It has three different baby age-specific filing attachments (and some adult ones too), a light so you can see what you're doing, and two speeds in each direction. You can even file away while your baby is sleeping (weird but true, at least in my case). 

Shopping for a bra that fits right is tricky enough. Now try finding a nursing bra that works with your changing postpartum body -- one that makes it easy to reach your breasts while holding a crying newborn. Like almost everything in your life as a parent, it could take some trial and error before you find the right nursing bra for you. But once you've found the best one, it has the potential to make your days (and long nights) nursing much easier.

The best way to figure out your size is to go to a maternity store and have an employee size you in person, Rosenthal said. If you can't do that, you can take your own measurements with a measuring tape at home. Most sellers provide a size chart to help you out. But a general rule of thumb is to take your pregnancy bra size, then add one cup size and subtract one back size, Rosenthal said.

This one is an honorable mention because it was indeed on my registry after a friend's recommendation. If you're someone who hates getting your hands sticky, you need this tool that can only really be called a butt spatula. Apply your baby's diaper cream to this little silicone brush and put it on their bum, saving your hands from becoming a mess. It has a suction stand so it can sit on your diaper table on its own, and it's easy to clean off. 

It's by Barcelona-based lingerie and swimwear brand Andres Sarda, which explains the barely there bodice! Bravo to stylist Law Roach for bringing this design to our attention, and for adding silver Stuart Weitzman platform sandals to round things off. Click through for a closer look.

If you want to buy a nursing bra while you're pregnant, it's best to wait until you're at least eight months along, Rosenthal said. Most parents tend to prefer a less structured nursing bra for the first few months as your breasts change in size, she added. If you're looking for a more structured option, it's best to wait until your baby is three to four months old, when your supply has been regulated.
