20
items Here are some things I found helpful during my nursing/pumping journey!
These worked with my Elvie portable pump and the Spectra pump! They were a gamechanger for pumping.
Flange Inserts 21mm Compatible with Medela/Spectra/TSRETE/Elvie/Momcozy/Bellababy Breast Pump 24mm Shields/Flanges, Reduce 24mm Nipple Tunnel Down to 21 mm, 4PCS

Lansinoh Hot & Cold Breast Therapy Packs for Breastfeeding & Pumping - 2pk: Contoured Fit, 6 Inch Diameter

I loved this and found it really soothing.
Earth Mama Organic Nipple Butter for Breastfeeding - 2 fl oz: Moisturizing, Soothing, Petroleum-Free, Non-Toxic
These ACTUALLY tasted really good and I think I noticed a difference in supply when I was eating these. They have other flavors too (I’m pretty sure the blueberry flavor was good too!)
Boobie Milk to the Max Lactation Bar Herbal Supplement for Breastfeeding Oatmeal Chocolate Chips - 6ct
I looooved this (the blue raspberry lemonade flavor) and I still drink it. It helped A LOT to motivate me to drink water when I needed to stay extra hydrated while nursing!
Boobie HydroMom Electrolyte Drink Mix Mineral Supplement Powder - 10ct - Blue Raspberry
I know this was probably dramatic of me but I left this mini fridge next to my bed so that when I woke up in the middle of the night to pump, I could just put the milk in there until the morning. Anything to get a couple extra seconds of sleep LOL
Frigidaire 6 Can Mini Personal Dorm Fridge Cooler Moonbeam
A wearable pump was realllllly helpful when I was out of my house/on the go and needed to pump. This one was pricey but it was really good. I recommend getting flange inserts to go in it!
Elvie Hands-Free Wearable Electric Breast Pump: Adjustable Speed, Controlled by Smartphone App, Includes Connector Valves
I used these a lot in the beginning when my baby struggled to latch and they helped a lot.
Lansinoh Contact Nipple Shields for Breastfeeding with Case - 2ct - 24mm
I used this for bottles but also for all of my pump parts! (Sometimes I just handwashed and boiled the parts but it was helpful to have this as a “lazy” option).
Baby Brezza Bottle Washer Pro Sterilization Device - White: Cleaning Tools & Accessories, Single Pack
This is a great pump. I used this as my main pump.
Spectra S1 Plus Portable & Rechargeable Hospital Strength Double Electric Breast Pump: Adjustable Speed System
NOT a nursing/pumping bra but i found this to be soooo comfortable and I used it when nursing. (I personally found a lot of the bras intended for nursing/pumping to be really uncomfortable to wear all day. This bra was so comfy, I ended up getting th...
Women's Luxury Collection Removeable Pad V-Neck Bralette - Auden™ Black S
NOT a nursing/pumping bra but I still really liked it. The straps are not detachable to a little annoying for nursing/pumping but it is really comfy and I used these with my wearable pumps.
Women's Seamless Removable Pad Bralette - Auden™ Light Heather Gray S
Momcozy Breast Milk Cooler Storage - 12 fl oz
I thought this bra was okay. Everyone recommended this to me- I just personally find these types of bras to be uncomfortable but it seems to be a popular one!
Momcozy Ultra Soft Nursing & Wearable Breast Pump Bra - Black XXL: Full Coverage Cups, Hook and Loop Fastener
Momcozy Portable Milk Warmer for Travel - Green: Bottle Warmers with AC Adapter, 1.37 lbs, 11.75" Height
Momcozy Silver Nipple Shield - XXL: 2-Pack, 2.56-Inch Dimensions
This bra worked really well with the Spectra pump- i felt like I could actually let go of the pump when I used it with this bra and that was a gamechanger to have hands-free. Again, I don’t find these bras to be the most comfortable to wear ALL day b...
Momcozy Pumping Bra - Beige - S: Back Hook and Loop Fastener
I got this as a gift and I do think it was really great when my baby was small and I was getting the hang of nursing. I definitely stopped using it after a while because it was just another “thing” but I liked it a lot then!
