items As a successful breastfeeding mother of 2, these are the products I recommend for a successful breastfeeding journey.
This captures milk on the opposite side that baby is not drinking from while they are feeding! Awesome for collecting extra milk!

My favorite nipple cream. Helped so much when I had dry cracked nipples in the hospital.

These breastmilk bags store milk pretty well and can hold a good amount at a time.
