@bella88

congrats on your new baby.
did you get premade swaddling blanket or used regular blanket for swaddling? i registered for 2 swaddling blanket that are only for swaddling not regular blanket, is that better than regular ones? or should i register for receiving blankets? im having baby shower in less than a month and i am not done with the list yet for registry.
as far as the breast pump, is medela electric one good? my insurance covered it and i have placed the order for it. is it a good idea to pump if you exclusively BF? i read somewhere that pumping will decrease supply?
sorry i know too many questions, this baby thing is too much for me

I got stretchy receiving blankets that I find perfect for swaddling. They are large and you get a super tight swaddle (baby loves it!)

I have medelas pump in style and never found that pumping decreased my supply. In fact it increased it when I felt my supply was getting lower.
