Exclusively pumping essentials (from a pump mom x2)
18
items This is my second time around exclusively pumping. I feel a lot more confident this time around & these are the things i actually used. I wish I put some of these on my registry as a FTM.
Queen B herself 🤌🏽 it’s the exact same thing as the pink one except this one allows you to be portable. You can charge it and carry it wherever you need to go. I had the pink on the first time around and it was awful because I had to get wearables ...
Spectra S1 Plus Pump
The real mvp.. use these to store all your pumped milk. Glass >>> plastic. Then you can put these directly into your bottle warmer so you aren’t heating up plastic bottles (if you use them). Then they can double down the road as food storage!!
WeeSprout Glass Storage Jars w/ Lids
You guyssss, spoil yourself. I did not know this was a thing my first time around. I got it my second time after a couple weeks and it is truly life-changing. 😂🤌🏽
Bottle Holder for Spectra Breast Pump
🤌🏽🤌🏽🤌🏽 you need one of these. Holds all the pump parts anddd the bottle parts.
Vertical Baby Bottle Drying Rack
Glass baby bottles 🤌🏽🤌🏽 they come with a silicone sleeve to prevent slipping AND a matching paci to the nipple of the bottle.
Dr. Brown's Glass Baby Bottle
Honestly the most important thing you’ll replace on your pumps. This should be done every two months at the latest. This keeps the suction up & helps get all your milk out. Don’t sleep on replacing these!!!
12 Count Duckbill Valves
I used this much more with my first bc my mental health needed attention. It is truly a life saver. My husband said it’s the best investment we’ve made.
Bottle Washer Pro®: Automatic Baby Bottle Washer | Baby Brezza
Your first clogged duct.. you’re gonna want this. 😅 and tbh cold is better than hot bc you want to reduce the inflammation.
Hot and Cold Breast Pads - 2pk
I store my pump parts in these when I’m on the go. Before I use them or after I use them.
Mess-Proof Waterproof Washable Baby/Toddler Wet Bags
I mean you can use the disposable ones but you’ll runnn through those. You’re gonna be a leaky mess for a min, these you can throw in the wash and re-use. Used them for both my kiddos, they hold so much more than the disposable ones 🫶🏼
14pk Organic Nursing Pads, Washable
PLEASE make sure you get sized. The standard is 24mm and that is normally not the correct size for everyone. If you’re using the wrong size your milk production WILL suffer.
Flange Set 21mm Shield
Idk who created this stuff but it gets the milk film off the bottles. It’s amazing and you can just buy refillable bags.
Dapple Baby Bottle and Dish Soap for Baby Products, Fragrance-Free, 16.9 fl oz
I’ve never used the timer bc I wouldn’t dare let my milk get burnt 😭 iykyk. Every drop counts. But we use this daily to warm up the bottles, super fast!
Baby Bottle Warmer
If they didn’t tell you, I’ll tell you. Neverrrr wash your pump parts/bottles with your normal dishes. This creates a breeding ground for mold. Don’t even risk it. Get one of these and only put bottles/ pump parts in it!
Washing Basin
I’ll be honest I never go hands free so I don’t know how that works with this but I do wear nursing bras 24/7. Anything with a clip is a yessss.
Hands Free Pumping Bra
The big thing here is a button up shirt. You’re gonna be milking allllll the time the first couple weeks and it’s not convenient to be taking your shirt on and off. I loved these!! I have multiple sets.
Short Sleeve Notch Collar Top and Shorts Pajama Set
I’m a sad beige mom. But you need a water bottle bc hydration when your body is doing that much work will make or break your supply 😅
Simple Modern Trek 40oz Stainless Steel Lidded Tumbler Almond Birch
Highly recommend if you’re planning to bottle feed and nurse. This is recommend from our lactation consultant as her top pick. The wide neck encourages a deep latch which is similar to nursing. Glass because of course the less plastic the better!
