Breastfeeding essentials for mom
Things I have found and used through my breastfeeding journey that made things easier.
Food/supplements
Great to get your protein in and is BF friendly, this flavor is very good!
Love, love, love these! Actually tastes good and helps supply.
MUST keep hydrated, I suggest one with a straw to not wake up baby with the squeaky screw caps
Freeze milk in this for a cool treat, when baby is older its great for teething.
A feeder for the milk cube/ frozen food tray.
Fashion/nursing attire
SO soft and comfortable. I've been using for over a year and its still in great condition.
Breast access makes everything so much easier.
I only needed 1 or 2 nursing bras but a good hand free one makes things so much easier!
It is SO hard to find a good nursing bra
These bras are so comfortable, anything soft was a must fr me
Button pajamas are so nice for easily BF with pajamas still on.
Again, easy access
Milk collection/storage
I've used this pump so much throughout my journey, make sure you get the right flange size!
I haven't used this much for pumping but its great for a quick release, catching letdown, and especially clearing clogged ducts!
Great for breastmilk storage
Comfort
If you are a nursing mom gliders are a LIFESAVER
great for those nighttime letdowns, especially once your baby starts sleeping through the night!
a MUST have for those sore nipples!
great for sore breast relief and encouraging letdown during pumping or nursing
Boppy and brest friend both have their pros and cons. I loved having both
Was the best for the first 6 months while navigating breastfeeding
