Pumps
My favorite plugged in pump will ALWAYS be a Medela. As a NICU nurse, we had Medela pumps in every room and that’s what I personally used at work. I always felt like it got all of the milk out.
Pump In Style® with MaxFlow™ Breast Pump
I would use this pump on the go if I forgot my hands free pump. So this was ALWAYS in the diaper bag for emergencies!
Medela Harmony Manual Breast Pump, Swiss Design
This work amazing for putting on the opposite breast while baby is feeding to collect let downs! Don’t waste any milk! I also used this when I was starting to get mastitis to drain a clogged duct!
Haakaa Generation 2 Silicone Breast Pump with Suction Base 5 oz 1pk
For my favorite hands free pump, I LOVE my momcozy! I used it for both of my kids while I was at work or trying to increase my milk supply at home. The suction is better than some plugged in pumps.

Those first few weeks are ROUGH on the nips. I used this lanolin for both of my breastfeeding babies and it helped so much!
Lanolin Nipple Cream for Breastfeeding Moms
These are BY FAR my favorite storage bags for Breastmilk. I never had issues with them leaking!
Lansinoh Breastmilk Storage Bags, 100 Count
I love these bras because they’re so easy to unsnap to breastfeed and so comfortable! I wear them even when I’m not nursing!
Suekaphin 5PACK Wireless Nursing Bra
I used these to collect colostrum before giving birth!
1ml Syringe with Cap (100 Pack) Sterile Oral Dispenser
I always wear these to collect any leaks so I don’t ruin my clothes or show leaks on my clothes. They are machine washable so huge money saver!
Organic Bamboo Nursing Pads - 14 Washable, Reusable, 4.7"
This SAVED MY BACK! Breastfeeding causes us to hunch over a lot, so always bring baby up to your breast, not your breast down to baby!
Boppy Nursing Pillow - Ergonomic, Water-Repellent
These helped maintain my milk supply so well! I try to drink 1 a day, but I don’t always have them on hand daily. Definitely focused more when I needed to boost my supply!

Ok, HEAR ME OUT! Oats are so good for your milk supply but I got tired of oatmeal. So I ate 1 of these a day when I needed a boost in supply and it made a noticeable difference.
Oatmeal Creme Pies
