Breastfeeding and Pumping Essentials
18
items Breastfeeding isn’t always easy but I am so glad that I stuck with it. My daughter is 14 months old and I’m still currently nursing her. Here are some things that got us through our journey. Don’t forget to take care of yourself and nourish yourself ...
This is a perfect duo to use for manual pumping. Most of the time I would my electric pump but sometimes if I was engorged or on the go, this was a lot easier to use and got milk out faster than the pump. It’s also nice that you don’t have to worry a...
Medela Manual Breast Pump Set - Harmony & Collector
My favorite nursing cover to use when I was out and about. I love how breathable the fabric is.
Blissful Diary Muslin Nursing Cover - Roman Green
Perfect for those sore nipples in the beginning. It’s also safe for the baby to nurse still while using these.
Lansinoh Organic Nipple Butter, 2 oz
My nursing journey was good overall. Unfortunately I had one biting incident and needed to put these on my nipple to keep it from scabbing. It also helped with the pain and discomfort.
Medela Hydrogel Pads for Sore Nipples
These are perfect if you have leaky breasts in the beginning. You just stick them to the inside of your bra and go about your day.
Lansinoh Stay Dry Disposable Nursing Pads, 100 Count
An alternative to nursing pads. I personally liked these better and you can use the milk that is collected for milk baths or skin care.
Elvie Catch Milk Collection Shells - Set of 2
These nursing bras worked out very nicely!
HOFISH 3PACK Seamless Nursing Maternity Bras
In the beginning, my daughter wouldn’t latch deep enough and these were a lifesaver in helping her to latch as well as saving my supply.
Medela Contact Large 24mm Nipple Shield
These were amazing in the beginning when my milk was coming in and I was experiencing pain from it. They are handy if you’re experiencing engorgement or mastitis as well.
Lansinoh Breast Therapy Packs, Hot & Cold, 2 Pack
When switching between the breast and bottle, you want to use bottles that promote a deeper latch similar to breastfeeding. This a good brand to use.
Lansinoh Anti-Colic Baby Bottles 8oz 3ct M Nipples
Another good option for bottles if you’re switching between the breast and bottle.
Dr. Brown's Anti-Colic Feeding Set Gray
This is worth it if you’re worried about storing your milk after pumping. It is an investment so I would definitely recommend for people who will be pumping regularly. People who are pumping occasionally may not need it.
CERES CHILL OG Breastmilk Chiller 34oz Zen Green
Bags for storing your milk in the fridge or freezer. Remember to measure the milk in a bottle first instead of relying on the numbers on the bag (they’re not accurate).
Medela Breast Milk Storage Bags, 100 Count
Breast pumps only come with one or two flange sizes so having this kit will come in handy. You can measure your flange size and then put the inserts in your breast pump. The more precise your sizing is, the better your milk output will be and you wil...
Nuliie 10PCS Silicone Flange Kit for Pumps
You can wear these in between feeds to help with nipple soreness.
Koala Babycare Silver Nursing Cups - Standard
Can be used to quickly clean your pump parts if you’re on the go and have no other way to clean them.

Perfect for those times that you want to pump but also need to do other hands with your hands.
Momcozy Hands Free Adjustable Pumping Bra
These are nice especially in the winter when it’s cold and you don’t want to expose your whole torso to breastfeed.
