Reddit mentions of BabyBliss Bamboo Rayon Nursing Breast Pads - 14 Washable Pads with Storage & Wash Bags - Reusable Breastfeeding Nipplecovers - Leak-Proof Nipple Pads for Maternity (L, 4.7")

Buy some reusable nursing pads ASAP! They are lifesavers

Here’s a link to the ones I had https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01JA8W6E0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_UgB4DbV2DKS00

1. Pump - like everyone else said, pump should be free.
   
2. Nursing bra - I bought these from amazon: 3 for $21.99!. I'm not sure if they're quality bras or not but I've been using them for 4 months and they're great so far! But I'm also not 36DD, so not sure if they'll work for you. Otherwise, I got some through local Trading up facebook pages.
   
   
3. Nipple creams - samples from hospital and still on my first tube outside samples. I'm still using them at 4 months, but not nearly as much as before. My tube's from a friend, but I don't think it was that much.
   
   
4. Nursing pads: I leaked so much! Started off with these Medela ones and will transition into these washable ones because nursing pads were getting expensive.
   
   
5. Never bought any nursing tops. I have cami that I've used, but I mostly just pull up my shirt. I nurse with the baby right in front of me so everything's pretty covered.
   
   
6. Pump bra - Never bought one. I cut slits in an old sports bra that's now a bit small for me. It works perfectly! I can pump hands free at work.
   
   
7. Food - I don't think the extra food costs more. If anything we've saved money on food now because we don't go out to eat anymore.
   
   I also went back to work at 6 weeks. It sucked. I'm usually away from baby about 10 hrs a day. I guess you just get used to it after a while... Hope this helps!

I've been using these for a long time now. They've worked decently, although if my shirt is too thin or tight, sometimes you can see the outline?

Not the original commenter, but I bought these pads and they're awesome. They seem a tad big, in terms of the diameter, but I like them. Also weirdly, the ones I received are flat circles and don't have the pleat like in the photos. So. Idk. But I like them anyway haha

I use these and have no issues with them. They're so much cheaper than Bamboobies. 7 pairs for $14 vs. 8 pairs for $25. I haven't tried Bamboobies though so I don't know if they're sooooo much better or not.

>cute tops, with cute sexy bras or possibly even without a bra

Yeah lady, me too. Sadly I've resigned myself to the reality of being a nursing mom and the fact that my wardrobe is much more limited these days.
