items Here are some pumps I’ve tried out breastfeeding my little one. Most of them were long lasting but parts will need to be replaced every few months for best results.

Milk collecting
Milk collecting is a must so no milk goes to waste… after breastfeeding , if your only feeding/pumping one side at a time, if you can’t get to baby or your pump these products help catch it all.
You need this !!! If your pumping/ feeding on one side at a time the other-side will not wait this catches all the milk. Even after pumping or breastfeeding you’d be surprised how much is left over in the boob.

Just pop them in your bra and go. I was wasting ounces before I discovered these
Milk Collection Breast Shells - Medela
Loved these bags , you can even pump into the bag!!! Some people have experienced leaks but I didn’t I always put 5oz or less in a bag.

Before freezing or bottle prepping I used this pitcher to combine what was pumped throughout the day.

Manual pumps
Ever Mama needs a manual pump …somtimes your go-to isn’t charged. Also convenience for clogged ducts, on the go, and low milk supply.
Here’s a tip to pump faster / pull more milk: once you have a letdown hold the handle for a few seconds then releas...
Another great manual pump. This one is a little easier on the hand dr browns bottles fit this pump as well☺️
Manual Breast Pumps - Medela
The first pump I ever had. While hand pumping takes time this pump has saved my milk supply several times. EVERY BREASTFEEDING MAMA NEEDS A MANUAL PUMP!!!
Manual Breast Pump - Lansinoh
Hospital grade pump
Pumps that have stronger suction settings. Very convenient for emptying the breast or establishing a milk supply.
This is a dual pump! Just pull the little rubber piece off and add the second tube. Pumping one side at a time better for the strongest suction if needed.
Spectra S2 Hospital Grade Double Electric Pump
Rechargeable hospital grade pump!!! In other words no being stuck in one spot
S1 Plus Premier Rechargeable Double Electric Breast Pump - Spectra
Wearable breast pumps
Very convenient for a busy mama , highly recommend pairing with a manual or hospital grade pump to maintain a good milk supply if you are not latching your baby.
Love love loved this wearable pump I wish I got it sooner. You can bend down without spilling milk!!
Momcozy S12 Pro Quick Wearable Breast Pump
This pump wasn’t my favorite but it got the job done especially when I still had things to do. Several suction settings including massage mode. Don’t bend down with this pump on milk will spill. Also I ordered replacement parts from Amazon and they l...
DiscreetDuo™ Wearable Pump - Lansinoh
Breast & Nipple care
Breastfeeding can take a toll on the girls 🍒 here’s what helped with healing and supporting them.
10/10 !!!! My nipples cracked before I made it out the hospital trying to properly latch my daughter. This healed them quick! Also use it on my lips and hands. The little jar lasted me a very long time.
Organic Nipple Balm - Lansinoh
This definitely helped get the girls ready for pumping I could feel a let down about to happen before putting my pumps on. They also warm up which is necessary when you have clogged ducts
Momcozy Warming Lactation Massager 2-in-1
Maternity bras are necessary!! I recommend the shirts as-well or cutting some old t-shirts into muscle shirts so you can get to the boob fast.
