You'll be just fine. Don't worry about doing everything 'right'. You have to learn what works for you and your baby and it's different for everyone! Good luck to you!

Ohh okay I jist bought a maternity bra thinking it was a nursing bra I will have to return it and look for some nursing bras.  Thank you that was helpful.  And about the milk storage bag do I just buy them and put my milk in there after I pump and put them in the freezer?

A maternity brs provides extra support for your chest as it grows during pregnancy. A nursing bra is one that the cup can clip down to expose your breast for the baby to feed.

As for pumps, I just used one to store a bit of milk for when I left the baby with my husband and wouldn't be back in time for the next feeding. You can leave it in the fridge for up to 8 days, 3 months in the freezer on top of your fridge or 6 months in a deep freezer. I use breast milk storage bags. They're really convenient.
