What do you actually do with a newborn all day, when they aren't eating or sleeping (which, to be fair, is most of the time)? This Baby Einstein mirror may not be the most aesthetically pleasing, but my baby loved it - giving her a way to look at herself and at some high-contrast patterns made tummy time a lot easier for us in the early days. She also liked looking at the high-contrast animal cards, which would make her smile.
The 54-year-old academic and broadcaster told Donna Ferguson she has never owned a credit card, nor made any major mistakes with money.
But she is prepared to spend £135 on a massage as a treat because of the 'weird positions' she often finds herself in, crawling through tombs while filming at historic sites.

This bralette from Target's Auden collection is simple, comfy and affordable. It's great for everyday wear toward the end of pregnancy and also in the early days when you're mostly at home nursing. There are no clasps or snaps, and you can easily access your breast and stick it back in as needed. It also works as a regular bra under clothes. It's slightly more supportive than other bralettes I've tried, but as some have noted in the online reviews, this isn't the best choice for larger-chested people who need a more structured option. It would also make a good option for a bra to wear while sleeping. Added bonus: It comes in a two pack.
I like a massage wherever I am in the world.
When I'm doing TV shows, I am often in really weird positions - crawling through tombs or hanging off the edges of ancient sites. So a massage is my treat to myself. I will spend anything from £35 to £135. I have about four a year.

If you want an underwire option (see more about this below), particularly as you move on from the first months of breastfeeding, the ThirdLove 24/7 Classic Nursing Bra is the closest I found to a traditional bra. This is a good choice for larger-chested people, offering full coverage. I found the gold clasps were slightly more difficult to undo than some of the others on this list, but not terrible. I also don't know the purposes of the pleated straps, but they made it easy to recognize which bra I was grabbing out of my drawer in a sleep-deprived haze.
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.

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.
