I created a nursing basket when I had my 2nd baby (Krash) and with Ladybug I have updated to a new basket which I LOVE!!!! These are technically diaper baskets, but I use it as a nursing basket...keeping all of my regularly used supplies at hand for me while I am nursing her. I never know how long she will nurse so I try to have what I might need in the basket near me so I don't need to get up.First, the basket itself is the: SaraBear Diaper Caddy (I got mine at Target)
What's in it?
- Avent Breast Pads
- All of my medications (and her vitamin drops)
- Telephone and tv remote
- Chapstick
- Pacifier
- Baby nail clippers (easy to do while she nurses)
- Itzbeen Timer
- Burp Cloth (made by my mom of course)
- Baby Organics Lotion (for her and me-I LOVE it...see link on sidebar)
- Baby Organics diaper cream
- Diapers, wipes
- My journal (where I record her feedings and such), pen
- Changing pad (also made by my mom)
This basket is much bigger than the one I used before, but I love it. Once I start being more active, it is something I can easily send Pac Man to get for me if I am nursing in a room other than where I keep it (currently my bedroom).

This is perfect. Exactly what I will need this time around as well. I think I will add a bottle of water to mine. I always get really thirsty when nursing. A healthy snack might be good too. Maybe some nuts or something like that :)
Laura--- ha ha, my water bottle is SO big, it won't fit in the basket!!!! And I usually do have snacks, I must have eaten them all before I snapped the photo!!! I get so thirsty and hungry while nursing too.

Great idea. I don't know if you want recommendations for baby things but my favorite things have always been Quick Zip sheets by Clouds and Stars (so amazing; they really make life with a baby easier) and Hanna Andersson baby socks (they actually stay on!).
I love your basket- I may have to get one of those! I was planning on doing something similar for this babe on the way, but that basket looks like it keeps everything nice and organized! Lovely job!
I have made these up for mamas in my care before! I love the basket, so pretty!
