Lactation & Infant Feeding
I used Silverette nipple shields during the early days of breastfeeding, and they were absolutely incredible. From the moment I started using them, I noticed soothing relief within just 24 hours. The gentle silver-infused material helps calm and prot...
SILVERETTE - The Original Silver Nursing Cups – Silverette Usa

One of my favorite pumps when I’m looking for something hands-free but effective!
Haakaa Generation 2 Silicone Breast Pump with Suction Base 5 oz 1pk
another haakaa favorite! Can be used as an actual pump with suction or can just be used as a milk collector. It sits easily in your bra and is not visible under clothes!
Haakaa Ladybug Milk Collector
The BEST breast feeding pillow. Even better than the boppy. The extra back support is so helpful!
My Brest Friend

Another pump that I use on the regular. I use this when I want more power than the haakaa but don’t want to be hooked to the wall. There is a learning curve but it performs beautifully
Medela Harmony™ manual breast pump
Most pumps come with a 24 mm flange size and for most women that is too large. For efficient and comfortable pumping, you need the correct flange size! This kit is perfect and comes with the various flange sizes you can use. Remember to check your si...
Nursi Luna Flange Sizing Kit 3-in-1 with 10PCS Inserts
I bought this to replace my nursing cover with the big hoops and such a HUGE difference! It’s a shawl so having your back covered as well feels much more comfortable. The material is SO soft. It’s very breathable as well…I even wore it on the beach! ...
Nursing Cover & Car Seat Stroller Cover
Postpartum Recovery
I wore these for weeks! Instant relief during early postpartum!
Instant Ice Maxi Pads – Frida | The fuss stops here.
Not glamorous but hey…keeping it real. The mesh underwear is shockingly comfortable. STOCK UP AT THE HOSPITAL! But if you’re out, then amazon stocks them as well!
STOCK UP AT HOSPITAL… Mesh Disposable Postpartum Underwear
I think I’m an outlier here but I liked the peri bottle from the hospital SO much more than the curved one. Plus it’s FREE!
TAKE FROM THE HOSPITAL…Peri Bottle
Again…stock up on these at the hospital. They are FABULOUS (and free). But if you run out, these were the ones my hospital supplied and they were my favorites. I ended up getting another brand at one point and it just wasn’t the same.
STOCK UP AT HOSPITAL Witch hazel pads
Newborn Care
Hands down the best swaddle. My daughter slept like a CHAMP in this. Baby will stay snuggled ALL night. No fumbling with loud velcro. Just a simple zipper. Even with the Houdini-est of babies who love to escape swaddles…won’t happen.
Woombie Original Swaddle
The holy grail of diaper creams 🙌🏻 This stuff STICKS! It helps prevent diaper rash very well. Once my daughter started solids, her bottom would get a little more raw especially if she ate citrus…this stuff began clearing her rash within 24-48 hours...
