Core Must-Haves (Have Ready Before or Right After Birth)
These are so convenient. In the early weeks, especially with let-down on the opposite side or when hearing a baby cry I’d end up leaking. Stock up as I went through 6+ a day.

These are my favorite bras. They allow you to go hands free while pumping. I loaded and unloaded the dish washer many times while pumping.
