Pumping Must Haves

items I exclusively pumped and was an over supplier. No one around me had ever pumped or breastfed so I went in blind. Here are some the things I learned were amazing!
These were my favorite bags! Easy to seal and didn’t ever bust or leak on me!

These are amazing for leaks. As long as I was wearing these I didn’t leak through my shirt!
