Pumps
This pump is a lifesaver! I work full time and have a daughter in gymnastics and ukulele so I am always on the go and it’s so nice to be able to put this on and pump anywhere! It works just as good as my spectra and I love the warming feature! There ...
eufy Wearable Breast Pump S1 - Hands-Free & Heated Comfort
If you need a hospital grade pump to use on the go, I cannot recommend this one enough! It’s wearable and portable but it does have the hoses. These still can be pretty discrete under a shirt with the right set up! This is a little quieter than the e...
V1 Pro Hands-Free Breast Pump | Hospital-grade - Momcozy
This pump is a must have for busy moms! This is so convenient with no charge necessary and you completely control the suction. It helps you stay in tune with your body and get the best results. I always have this packed in my diaper bag just in case!
Harmony™ Manual Breast Pump - Medela
This is so convenient and a must have in my opinion! You can suction this on the opposite side while your baby nurses and it will catch the letdown! No pumping required and you can easily save milk to store! It can also be used as a manual pump!
Haakaa USA | Haakaa
Every breastfeeding mom needs a spectra! The S2 is great too but I love that this is rechargeable. I do feel like the S2 works slightly better but again, this being portable is so helpful!
S1 Plus Premier Rechargeable Double Electric Breast Pump - Spectra
For mama
These saved me in the early days when my nipples were sooo sore! I actually had cracked nipples and blisters early on and these helped me heal so I could get back to nursing more! They protect your nipples from rubbing on clothing and can keep nipple...
SILVERETTE Original Silver Nursing Cups
This is sooo soothing and helps heal your nipples when they’re still adjusting to breastfeeding! The best part is the ingredients are so clean and you can trust that it is safe for your baby!
Mama's Nipple Balm | 2 oz
These are the best nipple shields out there! They’re a lot more rounded and shorter than other shields which is great for me because I have flat nipples so when my babies were newborns we needed these for almost every feed! The other brands were too ...
Lansinoh Contact Nipple Shield with Case (20mm & 24mm)
This scale was a lifesaver for me! My second baby was a little 5lb petite girly and we had so many lactation appointments and weight checks because she struggled to latch since she was born a bit early and this saved my sanity. The weight is so accur...

Supply boost
These helped boost my supply so much! I tried all the things from oatmeal to body armour to Dr Pepper to the pink drink… and nothing worked like these did! They seemed to make my milk so much richer too. And they actually taste like brownies! They’re...
Emergency Lactation Brownies | Fast Milk Supply Boost - Milky Mama
This stuff is so good when my supply dips! My period came back early on and this always gets me back on track. I don’t love coconut water by itself so I mix it with a bit of juice and it’s so good this way! I’ve tried with many of my favorite juices ...
Shop Organic Coconut Water Online | Harmless Harvest
When my period comes my supply always takes a huge dip. I also suffer from low ferritin levels so my iron is easily affected. I can feel when my iron is low and when I can get my iron levels back in check, my supply increases again! I prefer a natura...
Blood Builder™ Iron Supplement - MegaFood
When your menstrual cycle comes back your magnesium levels are depleted and most of us have low magnesium levels at some point anyway so it’s great to have this on hand but when my cycle comes around and I get a dip I can always count on my magnesium...

Nursing friendly clothing

Nursing Tops | Breastfeeding T-Shirts Tanks & More | H&M US
This is my absolute favorite nursing dress! No one can tell a thing but it’s so easy to latch baby on without anyone noticing and I am BUSTY! And you still can’t tell! It’s so discrete and also so beautiful! Most people think baby is sleeping on me w...

Bottle feeding
These bottles are SO good for us! They aren’t the top recommended from lactation consultants but they’re the only ones my babies were able to latch to. I do however use this with their curve nipples size 0 instead of the ones they come with! We also ...
Boon Nursh Silicone Pouch Baby Bottles - Pink - 4 fl oz/3pk: Anti-Colic, Slow Flow Nipple, BPA-Free
These nipples are much more breastfeeding friendly than the ones the bottles come with when you purchase them. They are so worth the extra money to upgrade the nipples! We stuck to size 0 the whole breastfeeding journey and they worked perfect.
Boon Nursh Curve Silicone Baby Bottle Nipples - Preemie - Stage 0 - 3pk
Milk storage
I love these freezer bags so much! They are a little harder to store than my other favorite brand but they have the pour spout that the other does not and it truly does work so much better! These have not leaked for me at all!
Motif Medical Breastmilk Storage Bags - Breastmilk Freezer Bags
These were my most used up until we started actually using frozen milk. They are the best for storage as they lay very flat and are easy to stack and easy to fill into gallon bags but the lack of a pour spout does kind of suck. There are no leaks for...
