Breast Pumps
A quick and efficient way to get a letdown when you don’t want to fully pump. It’s so convenient & literally takes minutes. The collector is nice if you have a clogged duct, fill it with hot water & Epsom salt & it does wonders!
Medela Harmony Manual Breast Pump & Milk Collector
A great collector cup for the letdown while you breastfeed on the other side

Nursing Clothes
The easiest shirt ever to breastfeed in. You literally just pull it to the side and it looks like you’re wearing a shirt still. You also don’t need to wear a bra because this is padded so 100% a win in my books

I live in these! I’ve been using momcozy bras since 2022, they are the comfiest and easiest to unlatch, they’re padded & sturdy
Momcozy YN21 Seamless Nursing Bra
Love the side opening so easy to feed & if you have a hyperactive letdown it isn’t going down the front of your shirt

Extra Goodies
I wear these every single day! And night!! I don’t leave the house without these in my bra. I like the disposables because of the texture, I find the reusable to be scratchy in your nipple once there’s dried milk on it
Lansinoh Stay Dry Disposable Nursing Pads, 200 Count
I swear by these if you have a clogged duct, they help feel relief when you’re working on getting it out. Keep these in the freezer or heat them up, then just put them on your bra

The best product if you’re nipples are sore, instantly moisturizes and you feel relief

Starting the breastfeeding journey can be messy, it’s nice to have extra covers for the boppy on hand

Protect your nipples!! These are great if your nipples are sensitive, those first few weeks of rubbing on shirts and bras is rough!
