Favorite wearables
Absolutely love these, I liked these way more than the one time use alternatives. I rinse them out really well after removing and then would wash them in a laundry bag (so they don’t disappear in the dryer). I’ve used them for years! Definitely get a...
Bamboobies: Nursing Pads, Bras, Tank Tops & Nipple ...
Easy access and they look good (because let’s be honest nursing bras can be meh at best sometimes!) I recommend getting the ones specifically for pumping if you pump as well.
Nursing Bras for Breastfeeding Moms
I’m obsessed with their nursing shirts, they are soft and provide easy access without worrying about being exposed. Bonus that they don’t “look” like a nursing shirt

For baby
The nipples with these bottles worked to best for my primarily breastfed baby, it didn’t alter baby’s latch and maintained the same form. Highly recommend. Oh and as baby gets older just get the age appropriate nipple!

I noticed that when my baby started using a pacifier the latch wasn’t as good so switched to these binkies and it was night and day difference. Baby preferred it because it’s more of a nipple shape and the latch returned to normal! Get a few of them ...

If you aren’t pumping often or are traveling on the go these bags are great to get bottles/pump parts sterilized without having to boil water or use a sterilizer!

WishGarden Herbs AfterEase Drops Postpartum
I’ve used this an it has supported me on my breastfeeding journey for 24+ months and counting between 2 kiddos! Oh and I typically take another vitamin D just because who really gets all the sun they need!

Tips and things that help
Not a product but this was better than any nipple cream or balm when it came to healing cracked nipples. Hand express after feeding and let it dry on nipples, repeat as needed.
Hand Expressing
I keep the 32 oz near by because I know how many I need to drink in a day and feel like the thirst doesn’t leave while feeding especially at night time.
Insulated & Stainless Steel Water Bottles
Don’t waste your money on a Boppy, I did and it was really only good for practicing tummy time… but this one is great for night feeds or just when you can use some extra support to avoided the dreaded back pain that can happen with breastfeeding.
