I was so skeptical to spend so much money on some metal. Silver is supposed to heal my nipples? I didn't fully accept it but I was desperate to try anything while I was sore from exclusively pumping for 3 months and for the first time ever I felt rel...

One of the best wearable breast pumps I've tried! I love the easy but not too sensitive buttons, long battery life, easy cleaning, good pump output and so so convenient because I'm not bogged down next to the wall and covered in tubes and cords! Oh a...

Another great wearable pump contender! Doesn't hold as much as the s12 momcozy but it is more discreet to pump in public if you need to.

Great to have a pitcher of milk all mixed up and ready to go or to pour all the breastmilk you pump in a day together while pumping at work. Then separate into different bags the size of the baby's bottle.

My life was made so much better once I found out about this spray! Being an exclusive pumper, you need to have some pumping spray to lube up your pumps to make less friction and ease sore nipples from the constant pumping. This plus the silverettes r...

This massager was great getting out the blocked ducts that I had! This is a must to have on hand because it seems blocked ducts are inevitable it seems.

Sometimes the best way to get out a clog from a blocked duct is to use a manual pump! Sometimes its even easier and faster to use a manual pump over an electric one.

My last son was born with a lip tie, tongue tie and cheek ties so this was vital in getting him to latch again after getting revised and using the bottle for so long.

This is great for on the go when you have to pump and store the parts but you don't have access to a sink. I found this particularly useful in the summer when it was way too hot to store my pump uncleaned while we were at Legoland. Spray, wipe and we...

These breast pump wipes were so great when we went to a water park and I didn't want to leave my pump parts uncleaned in the hot humidity. Quick wipe down and my pumps were fresh! Also great to get in those hard to reach places during normal cleaning...

I tried Dapple but I hated it for cleaning pump parts. It didn't take off the milk residue enough for me. I love using the Dawn spray because it gets the residue off and it's so easy to just spray everything down to get a good clean on your pump part...

Hydration is also important! Not just water though. If you only drink water and too much of it, you can actually be flushing out your electrolytes! So it's important to make sure to replace them so your body holds onto the hydration and uses it in yo...
