Water, something to mop her/me etc up with (usually a receiving blanket for us) and the remote or my phone.

My phone! I used to have snacks and water by me but she nurses faster these days so I don't bother.

I'll agree with above: water, burp cloths, nipple cream, entertainment
Also Chapstick and a baby nail file. It's the only time she is still enough/distracted enough to file down her talons...

water and computer and sometimes a snack. I craved water intensely sometimes though while nursing so that was probably most important.

I remember DH leaving for work and the remote was on the other side of the room. I also liked my phone and Kleenex or burp cloth around.

In addition to boppy, snacks, and water in the early days I needed the tv/remotes. I didn't have a spare hand to use the phone while BFing the ways I was shown (holding breast and LOs head for a good latch).
