Essential feeding items for every breastfeeding mama
I have 2 pumps and this one is my fav! Small, programmed pump setting that eases into pumping. No sore nipples from too much suction. Fits great in the bag I posted too!
Medela Pump in Style Pro+ Rechargeable
You can pump directly into the breastmilk storage bags using the adapters in this set. These are great for freezing milk. They lay flat in the freezer for easy storage and thaw faster.

This is great for tight spaces. Folds up nearly flat for easy storage.

Playtime 🧸
My aunt surprised me with a Tonies box and several game characters. I had never heard of it before. It’s the neatest toy for baby! It’s meant for hands-on play so it’s made for drops and bumps for years of playtime. Screenless kids play that grows wi...

This is the perfect night light during late night feedings and audio pairing with the Tonie box.

I had a jump-a-roo with my first two babies but I just don’t have the space for it in my new house. This is a great space-saving alternative that can easily be stored away when not in use.

This baby pool also has an inflatable bottom so it’s soft for baby to lay in. It’s perfect for those hot days camping or just hanging out at home.

Travel, Safety, & Convenience
This is the only pacifier my exclusively breast-fed baby will take. Also doesn’t suction the slobber to her face. And who doesn’t love seeing those fishy lips!
Breast-like Pacifier by Garkoko.
Wi-Fi can be a bit sketchy at times. This is a great option that does not use Wi-Fi, but still provides a quality video image. Also has a thermometer to check the temperature in the nursery.

No more hassle trying to load your baby in their car seat with this 360° rotation! I used to keep my baby in a side seat for easy access but with this I can place her in the middle. So much more convenient!
REVOLVE360 CAR SEATS | Evenflo® Official Site
I absolutely love having the option of loading my baby in her car seat or using the bassinet option that also sits up. It’s super smooth to push and maneuver unlike previous strollers I’ve used.
Evenflo PIVOT MODULAR TRAVEL SYSTEM
Co-sleeping (I know…controversial) My baby hated the bassinet and I wasn’t ready to leave her. This is a great option for co-sleeping to keep baby safe in the middle.

Do you NEED this, no. But boy does it sure make life easier when out and about or trying to get things done around the house.

I can usually only find the small bottle of Dreft at Walmart BUT Sam’s comes through every time! I love the way this smells and is safe for my baby’s sensitive skin.
Dreft Baby Liquid Laundry Detergent, 125 loads, 170 fl. oz.
If you’ve ever had a baby with a severely runny nose, you know how awful it can be to not be able to give baby relief. That bulb syringe just doesn’t cut it. So thankful to whoever created this electric aspirator! Cleans baby right out helping baby b...

These are the only swaddle blankets you need! I own 6 of these and keep them on rotation throughout the week. These are big enough to swaddle, use as a nursing cover on the fly or just to cover baby. Multiple cute designs and 💯 cotton!
Muslin Swaddle Blankets 3 Pack, 38x40, Bright
It’s hard to beat Burt’s Bees organic cotton baby clothes. Knowing the fabric is free from harmful chemicals and made of the softest cotton gives me a little peace of mind. Not to mention the cute patterns and outfits they offer.

It’s Burt’s Bees. Need I say more?
