I would add :

- Lansinoh cream (it's quite painful at the beginning)
- nursing bras
- breast pads
- some plastic bottles to use with your pump to stock in the fridge (I also have a double electric one from Medela, so I just bought the little bottles from the same brand. I have 6 of them, 2 in the fridge, 2 on the machine, and 2 in the sterilizer).
- I agree, bf pillow is not necessary.
- maybe some sort of teas (fennel, mother's milk...) to help with the lactation, which is generally irregular, on all during growth spurt !!

I think it's important also to get some help from the first hour after the birth, and don't let you convinced by the doctors and nurses to use formula, unless it's medically necessary.

Good luck !
