Pumps
The blue one is portable , while the pink one is not! This is an important distinction. The Spectra is a power house pump to really empty you out, and the blue one allows me to still be mobile enough
S1 Plus | Rechargeable Double Breast Pump
Insanely quiet portable pump, great for when I returned to work
Elvie Pump: Ultra-Quiet, Ultra-Discreet Wearable Best Pump
Another wearable pump option, not as quiet as the Elvie but also a great option that’s more affordable
Lanisoh Wearable Breast Pump
Accessories
I found the haakaa was recommended a lot to catch the let down on the other side (while baby feeds on the other) but my baby eventually would just kick the haakaa off. This one fit snugly in my bra.
