Your nursing station is where you keep all of your breastfeeding essentials and comfort items so that everything is close at hand and exactly where it’s needed.
Therefore, setting up a breastfeeding station is one of the best ways you can prepare for your baby, especially in the early weeks.

Where to set it up?

The best place for your breastfeeding station is somewhere you can get a peace of mind and quiet. It can be in a private nook in your home where you can close the door and dim the lights – or in the center of things so you can ask for help when you need it or chat with whoever else is around. Or you may want both options. Your main candidates for this area will probably be the baby’s nursery or a quiet corner of your sitting room.

How to organize your breastfeeding station?

The best way to organize your breastfeeding station is with a decent-sized box, or even better a basket.

You’ll want something that is light weighted with handles on either side for easy moving around.

You will also find it easier if the basket is separated out into sections.
You can always buy drawer separators and pop those in to keep everything organized and easier to find.

With clothes and muslins, roll them up and store them vertically (the KonMari way) so that you can see them easily.

If you have the space, a cart is great for this job. You’ll have lots more objects to keep organized, especially if you are pumping regularly.
