Navigating the world of exclusively pumping can be both rewarding and extremely challenging. To support you in this journey, I've curated a list of must-have products (in my humble opinion) designed to make pumping easier, more efficient, and comfortable.
As a first-time mum, I quickly learned how important the right chair is when it comes to nursing. You spend so many hours feeding and soothing your baby, so finding a chair that’s comfortable and supportive is key. For me, armrests are a must—they give your arms a break during those long feeds. I also love the ability to rock or glide, which helps settle the baby (and me!) when we’re both trying to relax. While reclining is ideal for those late-night sessions, not all chairs have that feature, but a good footstool can do wonders in those cases. Here are my top picks for nursing chairs that tick all the boxes, ensuring both you and your little one are comfortable.
These items helped my baby sleep, stay asleep, and gave me the peace of mind know these products are safe which allowed me to also get some much needed sleep. As a NICU nurse safety is a top priority when it comes to products that I use for my baby.
