Surgery Resident’s Guide to Pumping at the Hospital
21
items When I returned to work after my maternity leave I was determined to keep breastfeeding and pumping for as long as I could, even when working long hours at the hospital. These are all the products and recommendations I have to help anyone else in the...
I used this Spectra portable breast pump at work every day. It was so easy to use and lightweight enough to put in my work bag. It has separate settings for the right and left side so you can adjust as needed. The pump parts are the standard spectra ...
Spectra SG Portable Breast Pump | Dual Motors
I bought the Willow Go for a hands-free breast pump and I loved the convenience of it! I used it around the house when I wanted to be up and about. I also used it while commuting from home to the hospital to save time in the mornings or at the end of...
Willow Go™ Wearable Breast Pump
These pump part wipes are a MUST when on the go and at work! I didn’t always have a nearby sink to wash my pump parts and these helped immensely with efficiently keeping all the parts clean! I used other brand wipes as well but these were my favorite...
Breast Pump Wipes
When it came down to keeping my breast milk cold for 12+ hour shifts I didn’t want to take any chances for it to go bad. I trusted the Yeti brand to keep my pumped milk cold all day until I could get it home at night for my baby. I recommend the 6L s...
Yeti Cooler Lunch Bags to Keep Breastmilk Cold!
I tried a lot of different breastmilk storage bags and these were among my favorite! Very easy to use, and I never had any leaks or concerns. Highly recommend!
Lansinoh Breast Milk Storage Bags, Fast Freeze & Thaw Breast Milk Bags for Baby Bottle Feeding - 100ct/6oz
I definitely recommend getting the Yeti ice pack to use in your cooler/lunch bag to help keep your breastmilk cold during long days at work! It stayed colder much longer than other more generic ice packs I tried, and it gave me such peace of mind whe...
Ice Block: Cooler Ice Pack Supplement
I really liked these breast milk storage bags for how thick the material was! Very easy to use and I had no concerns for leaks. I didn’t like that the measurement marks were not very accurate but as a bag itself it functioned great compared to many o...
Medela Breast Milk Storage Bags 6oz/180ml
I cannot recommend this bra enough! Because I was pumping so much at work I needed a very good hands-free pumping bra that I could wear comfortably all day instead of having to change bras at work to pump every few hours. This bra is the whole packag...
Hands-Free Pumping & Nursing Bra - Kindred Bravely
I really liked this sterilizer at home for pump parts and baby bottles. We mainly used Dr. Brown’s bottles in the beginning and this fits the pieces nicely, as well as the pump parts. I’d use the breast pump part wipes all day at work and then steril...
Dr. Brown's Deluxe Electric Sterilizer for Baby Bottles & Accessories
This sterilizer is also really great if you’re not particularly using the Dr. Brown’s bottles and want that customization of pieces. It’s fast for sterilization time and dry time!
Baby Brezza SuperFast 10 Minute Sterilizer Dryer
I used these disposable nursing pads at work and loved them! Very convenient for being at work all day and keeps your bra clean in between pumping sessions. I’ll separately link washable ones that I liked as well.
Lansinoh Stay Dry Disposable Nursing Pads
Highly recommend these washable nursing pads! Very easy to use and helpful to keep your clothes dry in between nursing or pumping sessions.
KeaBabies Organic Nursing Pads, Reusable Nipple Pads for Breastfeeding, Washable Breast Pads + Wash Bag
Clogged ducts can be super painful and uncomfortable! I had to deal with them a few times, and it can get especially bad when operating in long cases and not being able to take frequent breaks. This supplement really helped me resolve them as fast as...
Legendairy Milk Sunflower Lecithin - to help prevent clogged ducts
This combo package wasn’t out when I was breastfeeding but I’ve used almost all of these products separately and really liked them! This is a great deal to get them all together, and it even comes with a pouch to carry them in to keep things organize...
Frida Mom Breast feeding Survival Kit
This was a lifesaver! Especially early on. A little goes a long way and this jar will last a while. 10/10 recommend.
Earth Mama Organic Nipple Butter Breastfeeding Cream - 2 fl oz
I used these at work on shorter days instead of separate milk storage bags as these chill the milk for you. I got nervous on longer days that it wouldn’t contain how much milk I pumped or keep that volume cold enough, so I would only use these on sho...
Ceres Chill Milk Chiller
Instant oatmeal cups were a lifesaver as a quick snack when pumping at the hospital. Oatmeal is also a great natural way for helping with milk production. I love that these already come in cups ready to go, and you just need hot water. Very convenien...
Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free Oatmeal Cup - Case of 12/2.5 oz
A good pumping bag for work is essential! I love that this bag has separate compartments for the pump (and it can fit standard sized pumps). It also has a laptop compartment and enough room for storing everything you need.
Sarah Wells Breast Pump Backpack – Hands-Free Pumping Bag with Insulated Milk Storage, Laptop Sleeve
Highly recommend getting an extra set of pump parts and bottles so you can use one while waiting to have time to wash the other! The dishes are endless with a newborn so doing what you can to make things easier on yourself is well worth it.
Spectra Breast Pump Premium Accessory Kit with 24mm Breast Flange, Replacement Parts, and Bottle
I loved this chiller! It was so easy to use and freeze in 0.5 oz increments for my baby.
CERES CHILL Milkstache Luxe Reusable Breastmilk Storage
This was hands down the most comfortable nursing bra I tried (and I tried a LOT). I can't recommend it enough. It's not good for pumping but for days where you are breastfeeding/nursing directly this is the one!
