This is my main pump and the one I trust when I want a good pumping session. I love that it’s rechargeable, so I’m not stuck sitting beside an outlet the entire time.

A wearable pump is so helpful when I need to pump but still have a toddler to chase around. I don’t use it to replace every regular pumping session, but the convenience is absolutely worth it for busy days. I also love the heat setting on this one!

Probably my all time favorite breastfeeding essential! I use this on the opposite side while nursing to catch milk that would otherwise be wasted. It’s an easy way to slowly build a small milk stash without adding another full pumping session.

This helped me get Noah into a more comfortable position, especially during the early newborn days when it felt like he was nursing constantly. It also saves my arms and back during longer feeds.

I wear these everyday! A comfortable nursing bra is an absolute must for me. I love that these are soft and stretchy enough to wear all day or sleep in, while still making those frequent newborn feeds quick and easy—especially in the middle of the ni...

This was such a lifesaver during those early days when my nipples were sore, dry, and cracked from constant nursing. It feels soothing, applies easily without tugging, and is something I always keep within reach of my nursing spot!

Breastfeeding makes me SO thirsty, and coconut water is one of my favorite ways to stay hydrated when I want something besides plain water. I love keeping a few cold ones in the fridge for nursing sessions and busy days!

Get a water bottle you love! The breastfeeding thirst is NO joke, so a big water bottle stays beside me all day. I love one that keeps my water cold, holds plenty, and is easy to grab and drink from with one hand while I’m nursing!

These were such a relief during the early days when I felt sore, swollen, or uncomfortably full. I love that they can be used cold for soothing relief or warmed up before nursing or pumping—definitely something I’d want ready before bringing baby hom...

I get so hungry while breastfeeding, and Clif Bars are an easy snack to keep in my nursing basket or diaper bag. They’re filling, taste good, and—most importantly—I can unwrap and eat one with one hand while feeding the baby!

These cooling hydrogel pads feel SO good when your nipples are sore and tender from nonstop newborn feeds. I loved having something soothing to place on between nursing sessions during those uncomfortable early days!

A long phone charger is a breastfeeding essential nobody warns you about 😂 It reaches my favorite nursing spots so I can charge my phone while I’m feeding or nap-trapped, without having to sit awkwardly right beside the outlet!

This manual pump is so handy when I only need to pump a little or don’t want to set up my full electric pump. It’s compact, easy to keep in the diaper bag, and doesn’t need to be charged or plugged in such a good backup to have or take with you on th...
