Pumping must haves from a mom who exclusively pumped for 6 months!
15
items My top picks for pumping as a mom who is exclusively pumped for 6 months and was averaging 50 ounces/day!
This is hands down the best wearable pump! Fits very comfortably in my nursing/pumping bra and I’m able to get 5 ounces per side out of a 20 minute session

A good pumping bra is an absolute must. I bought some cheap ones on amazon and they were a nightmare so I bought these and they are so comfortable and supportive! They hold the flange upright so you don’t have to keep readjusting or holding the pumps...

Medela Harmony Manual Breast Pump with PersonalFit Flex
