Nursing/Pumping Essentials
Here are some of my faves to support your nursing/pumping journey.
A lifesaver for chapped nipples during the first few weeks
Momcozy Silver Nipple Shield - Regular
The absolute GOAT for those sore nipples during the first few weeks of breastfeeding. Plus, you can use as lip balm or on dry skin later on!
Earth Mama Organic Nipple Butter - 2 fl oz
If you're nursing, you will be leaking. Thank yourself later for sopping up those milk stains!
Lansinoh Stay Dry Disposable Nursing Pads
These are great for easy-nursing access + a cute basic to have in your closet.
Amazon Essentials Women's Maternity Nursing Tops, 2-Pack
If I could go back postpartum, I would have used these much more frequently to catch milk on the other side while nursing. You wouldn't believe the freezer stash you can build!
Momcozy Breast Milk Collector, 3oz, 2PCS
These are an excellent alternative to the disposable ones - easy peasy to throw in the wash and very durable.
Kindred Bravely Organic Viscose from Bamboo Breast Pads Twilight - 10pk
A must have when your milk first comes in and you're engorged – very easy to go back and forth from nursing to pumping, while supporting “the girls” in between with those nursing pads tucked in. Quality is great and holds up well in the wash.
kindred by Kindred Bravely Women's Sports Pumping & Nursing Bra - Slate Blue M
If you're exclusively pumping, this bra is very supportive and fits pump parts well. I personally used the Spectra S1 and had no issues with parts sliding around! Also comfy to wear around the house when you're not pumping.
