For my first kiddo, I struggled with breastfeeding and pumping. He ended up getting formula after 3 months. I knew I had to make a change with my second. I was able to exclusively pump for a whole year, providing breastmilk for my baby. Here are some...
This was by far my favorite pump. It truly has the best suction and is so easy to use and clean. I followed a pumping scheduled found on Pinterest to help produce the most I could and build a stash.
