16
items Breastfeeding and pumping as a new mom is SO overwhelming. There’s so much information, so many products, and everyone’s experience is so different. These are my go-to recommendations as a new mom who has been breastfeeding and pumping for over nine ...
I didn’t understand the hype behind these before my daughter was born, but you NEED them! Just trust me!
Silverette Usa: SILVERETTE - The Original Silver Nursing Cups
A wearable pump is essential for anyone planning on pumping long-term. I know hospital grade pumps are still the optimal choice, but a wearable pump makes pumping more discreetly or on the go SO MUCH EASIER and less stressful. I’ve used these for 9 m...
Momcozy M5 Hands Free Wearable Breast Pump
Spectra is just that girl! The S1 version is the one that doesn’t have to be plugged into the wall at all times, so don’t be fooled by the cute pink color and get the S2 by mistake! I love this pump and there are so many great tutorials on TikTok for...
Spectra S1 Plus Electric Breast Milk Pump
My biggest regret is not starting to use this sooner in my breastfeeding / pumping journey! I have built a huge freezer stash from just using my haakaa on the side I’m not nursing on!
haakaa Silicone Manual Breast Pump
If you’re pumping or bottle feeding at ALL, I recommend a bottle washer. I know they’re not essential and you can hand wash, but the amount of time I’ve saved by using this thing is absolutely worth the price. And not having bottles drying out on my ...
Baby Brezza Bottle Washer Pro - Washer & Dryer
I use the pitcher method while pumping, so I store all of the milk I pump over 3-4 days in this pitcher in my fridge until I freeze it. It has been so helpful for us and reduces the amount of bottles living in my fridge. It also makes it SO easy for ...
Dr. Brown's® Formula Mixing Pitcher
I have literally gone through over one thousand of these bags, and they are the easiest to use in my opinion. I trust the NICU with all of their recommendations, and this is what they used in our hospital, so it’s what we use too! I freeze my milk in...
Breastmilk Storage Bags - 6oz
Catch me using these at all times! I really didnt expect to use these as frequently as I have, but it’s so nice not to worry about leaking when I’m out and about.

Replacing your silicone pump parts isn’t something people really talk about, but if your supply begins to drop for seemingly no reason, old stretched out pump parts may be the culprit! I replaced mine way less than what is recommended, and these are ...
Maymom Pump Parts for Spectra S1 S2 9 Plus
These containers have been a lifesaver for ensuring my milk bags freeze completely flat to save space in the freezer! When you’re freezing large amounts like I have, being efficient with your space is so important.

Hydration while breastfeeding is HUGE, and I found that drinking a liquid iv every day really helped with my supply (and they taste amazing)!
Liquid I.V.
This is a hospital pump from Medela that you can rent or work with your local hospital and lactation resources to use. My daughter was in the NICU for 36 days, so for those 36 I pumped every 3 hours for 30 minutes exclusively with this pump. It is so...
Symphony® No. 1 Hospital Pump and Sets
Give me a giant tumbler of ice water with a straw and I can rule the world. This cup (which was actually a Christmas gift for NICU moms while we were in the hospital) is the main reason I’ve been able to keep up my water intake while breastfeeding. I...
Tumblers
Necessary for pumping on the go or back at work or bringing lots of bottles out and about. When we fly I keep my breast milk in here and just take it with me on the plane!
