items After breastfeeding two babies, this is what you really need. I was able to pump and nurse both of my babies. There were a few things that helped the journey be a success.

For pumping moms
My favorite wearable pump with plenty of settings. Cleaned well in the dishwasher.
Lansinoh® DiscreetDuo™ Wearable Pump
So nice to have this collecting when nursing on one side. It helped boost my supply.
Haakaa Generation 2 Silicone Breast Pump with Suction Base 5 oz 1pk
Great for passive collecting. I put them in overnight. They do have suction if you want them to pull milk out.
Boon Trove Silicone Manual Breast Pump
The best manual pump for emergencies or if you just want to take off some engorgement. I often used after my wearable to make sure my boobs were completely empty.
Medela Manual Breast Pump with Flex Shields
The bags I always used. I like that you could pump into them easily to save a dirty bottle.
Lansinoh Breastmilk Storage Bags, 100 Count
Rechargeable and lightweight
My personal favorite standard breast pump
S1 Plus | Rechargeable Double Breast Pump
Adding these to the baby's pumped milk was the easiest way to have them take the drops. They're recommended for breastfed babies.
Ddrops Baby Vitamin D 400 IU, 90 Drops
Breastfeeding needs!
The best nursing bra. It had enough space to hold a wearable pump and clipped on and off easily with one hand. They were comfortable for normal wear too.
Nursing Bras | Pumping & Breastfeeding Bras
Great for hooking on to you so you can walk around while nursing giving your arms a slight break not having to hold your baby’s full weight. I liked being able to keep a burp cloth in the pouch.
Nursing Pillows
For the early days. This is safe for the baby, so you don't have to wipe anything off before they eat. It helped so much with cracked and bleeding nipples. After week 2, I didn't need it anymore.
Lanolin Nipple Cream for Breastfeeding Moms
The first few days and even weeks can be tough. These cooling pads help relieve some of the pain and discomfort that comes with breastfeeding.
Frida Mom Cooling Hydrogel Nipple Pads for Breastfeeding and Lactation Pain, 8 Count
Baby feeding gadgets that make your life easier
This helped dry our bottles after washing them. We added the sticks to stick in the grass that would hold nipples, and the bottle ring holding the nipple on. It's dishwasher safe, so we could keep it clean easily.
Boon Grass Countertop Drying Rack, Green
After 8 months of breastfeeding, we transferred to formula. Having this baby brezza made things so simple. Bottles were measured for us and we just clicked a button. Not a need but very handy.
Baby Brezza
Any bottle brush will do but these are my favorite because of the nipple tool. I like that it’s rubber and has the small flexible pieces that stick out. They clean better than others I’ve used.
Munchkin Sponge Bottle Brush, Grey, 2 Ct
