Love this for combining pump sessions and pouring bottles
Willow Glass Breastmilk Pitcher 32oz
Â
These are SO amazing for storing milk because you can log them in the app and always go back to see when the milk was bagged!
Breast Milk Storage Bags with SmartStash™ Tracking - Willow Pump
Â
This is the only pump that I use because I personally hate being hooked up to an electric pump & I like to be in control. I get great output from this one!
Medela Harmony Manual Breast Pump
Â
This is amazing for getting milk on the opposite side that you’re nursing on or using the manual pump on! You can use it to passively catch milk or add some suction to it!
Boon Trove Silicone Breast Pump - 3oz: BPA-Free, Includes Storage Bag Plug
Â
I measured my flange size & bought flange inserts like these to put in my Medela hand pump. Flange size can make a big difference on your milk output!
WILLOW Breast Pump Sizing Kit - 12pc
Bottle-feeding/formula
Â
There are the bottles we are using because they’re silicone, so no plastic!!! They also make a 4 oz. size for the newborn days. Definitely switch the nipple for a better shape & I have those listed as well :)
Boon Nursh Silicone Baby Bottles with Collapsible Silicone Pouch - 8 fl oz/3pk - Pink
Â
We switch out the nipples that come with the Boon bottles for these Boon curve nipples because the shape is much better for their oral development
Boon Nursh Curve Silicone Baby Bottle Nipples - Slow Flow - Stage 1 - 3pk
Â
A bottle washer is a lifesaver for postpartum! There are a ton on the market, but this is the one that I have. It’s definitely an investment, but the built in water filter makes it so worth it.
Papablic SafeguardPlus 8-Bottle Washer & Sterilizer
Â
This is the formula that I used for my son & plan to combo-feed my daughter with. Love that it’s milk from Europe!
Similac Irish Farms Infant Formula Powder
Â
Love this formula container because it’s stainless steel instead of plastic!
Boon Triful Insulated Baby Formula Dispenser
Â
Depending on whether or not you want to warm the bottles, a bottle warmer could be a good purchase. This is the one I used with son for the first 6 months until we stopped warming them.
Baby Brezza Bottle + Breast Milk Warmer: Electric, BPA-Free
Â
These are great for taking extra boon bottles on the go!
Boon Nursh Bottle Buns - 3pk
