Breast Pumps
Absolutely incredible hands free breast pump. There is a learning curve, but it's worth it. The app was such a great feature. You could start them, stop them, see how long you've been pumping. They were very comfortable (well, as comfortable as they ...
Willow Go™ Wearable Breast Pump
This was the pump that I would usually use in the middle of the night or first thing in the morning. It's hospital grade, so it worked really well. It's lightweight so easy to move from room to room if you need. It's quiet. It's tried and true. You c...
Portable Breast Pumps | Hospital Strength - Spectra Baby USA
Breastmilk Storage
These were the best storage bags, hands down. They were super easy to open and close, they didn't rip or tear or leak. They were easy to hold open when dumping milk into them. The best.
Breastmilk Storage Bags - 6oz - Lansinoh
Loved this for the pitcher method. Made it very easy to pour bottles. The lid with the mixer was awesome so that you could mix up the milk before pouring. Dishwasher safe. Lightweight. Highly recommend.
Dr. Brown's Natural Flow® Formula Mixing Pitcher
These are great for organizing milk in the fridge.
Vtopmart 4PCS Breastmilk Storage Containers
Boobie Care & Supplements
These were great. Comfortable and not itchy. They stick to the bra really well and they are super affordable. Compact, easy to throw in the diaper bag
Lansinoh Stay Dry Nursing Pads, 200 Count
These are delicious. A perfect snack for those late night pumping sessions. I kept them in my diaper bag/pump bag and my car.
Munchkin Milkmakers Lactation Cookie Bites
I never got mastitis and I believe 100% it was because I used these. You can take them every day for maintenance or you can take them multiple times a day to help with an already clogged duct. It is a must have if you're breastfeeding.
Legendairy Milk Sunflower Lecithin 1200mg
These were a must for those days when you're super sore
Bamboobies Nursing Pillows, Heating Pad
I would use these any time I would have a drink and it really gave me so much peace of mind. Would definitely recommend

Self-explanatory, but worth the buy
Organic Nipple Butter™ 2oz by Earth Mama
Nursing Bras
I would buy this a million times over. It was perfect for pumping with the spectra. Kept the flanges in place and was comfortable enough to wear to bed
Momcozy Hands-Free Pumping & Nursing Bra
These are super comfortable and functional. It felt like I was somewhat wearing a real bra, which was nice. They held up really well in the wash, too.
Momcozy Nursing Bras for Breastfeeding
This was a must have as well for hands free pumping. Super easy to get on and off and held up really well in the wash. It was also tight enough to keep everything in place. You could move around if needed without the flanges slipping
Hands-Free Pumping Bra - Adjustable & Comfortable
Another really great hands free pumping bra. Super comfortable and very high level of support
Kindred Bravely Hands-Free Pumping Bra
Travel Items for Pumping
This bag is amazing. It has so many pockets for everything you need for pumping. It has two huge side pockets to store your pump and it's not ugly. It looks like any other work bag. Super easy to wipe down if you spill :( Has a really comfy shoulder ...
Lizzy (Black)
An adorable and fantastic cooler for breastmilk. Fits the little pump bottles perfectly with an ice pack. Keeps everything cold for hours so you're never worried about spoiled milk
Cold Gold (Leopard)
Fabulous for storing used or clean pump parts. Has a mat attached where you can set out cleaned parts to dry before packing them away. Fits perfectly into the pump bag and comes in so many cute patterns

Perfect for sterilizing pump parts. You get multiple uses from one bag, and you can keep track with a tracker right on the bag.
