Haakaa Ladybug Milk Collector
Used this in the hospital and during the first days at home. It really helped me get lactation started before switching to an electric pump. Since my electric one works with a cable, I keep this as my on-the-go option whenever I’m out. It’s always in...
Philips AVENT Manual Breast Pump
I use this at home as a quick, ready-to-go option. It’s faster than a manual pump and mimics baby’s natural sucking rhythm for more comfortable expressing. The milk container comes with a nipple attachment, so it easily turns into a bottle, and Natur...

Lansinoh Breast Milk Bags Storage Container
Great for freezing small portions of breast milk instead of using a whole storage bag for just a small amount. I like using it to keep little portions ready for baby purées or whenever I only need a bit of milk. Very practical and helps reduce milk w...

Little things that help with healing, comfort and adjusting throughout the postpartum period 🤍
Tried a few brands, but these stood out. They stay in place, absorb really well and are easy to stick onto the bra 🤍
Philips AVENT Disposable Breast Pads
Recommended to me by a friend who had tried many and found these the best. They helped soothe and speed up nipple recovery in the early days, and I still use them in phases when baby’s latch becomes stronger and my nipples get swollen. Comfortable to...
