I have the Spectra S2. These do a fantastic job pumping the milk out of my breasts really well. I actually prefer these over the Medela pumps.

For the first 2 weeks when my nipples were swollen, cracked, and bloodied, this helped save my nipples. It moisturized them really well and soothed them in time for the next feeding.

My baby had a difficult time latching, and I was about to give up on my breastfeeding journey, but my lactation consultant mentioned these nipple shields, and they legitimately saved my breastfeeding journey! Baby easily latches on now and go for a l...

This is a great silverette dupe! I actually like the fit and material a little better than the actual silverettes. These were very soothing to put on when my nipples were too sore. These protect the nipples from chafing against clothes, bras, or nipp...

I was gifted the haakaa, but my baby kept kicking it off during feeding. These Boom Trove milk collectors are a game changer. When I breastfeed, the other breast starts leaking, so these are perfect to collect that milk, and because of the form facto...

Baby has peeling, dry skin, and while this ointment is thick, it moisturized baby's skin gently and thoroughly. I like to rub a thin amount all over baby's body and very occasionally the face. Baby's skin gets very smooth after the ointment.

I love these Pigeon bottles. They are made of glass, and the nipples on these are great at mitigating nipple confusion. It has a hole in the nipple to prevent a lot of air getting into the baby, and I can tell that baby spits up less with this bottle...

Very convenient and easy to wipe up! Husband and I use this every day, and it has made blowouts more manageable because of how easy it is to clean. Just plop it in top of a changing table or dresser, and it's ready to go.

This was such a game changer! With all the pumping and bottle feeding, we saved so much time using the bottle washer over washing everything by hand. This is a great machine for those who don't have much time or energy to individually hand wash every...

We were lucky enough to be gifted this bottle warmer, and it definitely has its perks! I like to store my pumped milk in the fridge, and we bottle feed after breastfeeding because baby doesn't drink enough from my breastmilk, and baby was having trou...
