From breast pumps and milk collectors to nipple care and pumping accessories, these are the breastfeeding essentials I used daily during my postpartum journey. If you’re planning to nurse, pump, or do a combination of both, these products are worth considering.

After four months with Nora, these are the baby products that earned a permanent spot in our daily routine. As a first-time mom, I’ve learned pretty quickly which items are worth the hype and which ones aren’t. These are the products I reach for every day—from pumping and bottle washing to sleep, playtime, bath time, and diaper changes. If I were building my registry again, every item on this list would make the cut.
