Personal Care
I got this as a gift at my baby shower and then ended up not using half of it because i delivered via c-section. The dispostable underwear are so freaking soft, you dont even feel like you're wearing an adult diaper honestly. The peri bottle has a gr...
Frida Mom Postpartum Recovery Essentials Kit
These are perfect for right after delivery. they are full coverage and hold the pad well. They are perfectly stretchy and dont put any pressure on your stomach
Mesh Underwear
I loaded this thing down with pumping essentials on top. Diapers, wipes, spare outfits and burp cloths in the middle. Snacks and other miscellaneous care things on the bottom. This literally went all over the house with me and helped me keep everythi...
3 Tier Metal Utility Cart White - Brightroom™
I literally had/have so many of these that I still wear to this day.
Night Gown
Some kind of vessel that you like to hold your water. Because having a baby and breast feeding requires you to stay hydrated and having something with you at all times a must to stay ahead of the game.
Water Bottle

MiraLAX
Breast feeding/pumping
hands free breast pump. It was a must for me after having my twins and having a toddler at home. Made pumping in the car a breeze and I wasn't tied down to a wall. It sometimes gave me better milk output than my wall pump did. Super easy to use and c...
Willow Go
I tried many brands and these were the ones I kept reaching for. They are super soft and absorbent.

recommended to me by my lactation consultant. okay to use while breast feeding and to use as a lubricant while pumping.
Coconut Oil
THESE! i loved that you could use them hot or cold and they fit right into your bra with ease!
Hot/Cold Breast Therapy Pads
These get the job done and can be found literally at any grocery/drug store.
Lansinoh Breastmilk Storage Bags
perfect to have as a back up. I even usually kept mine in the car just in the event we went out and timed it wrong so I didnt have pump with me or such. I mainly used it in “emergencies" like dead batteries or forgot pump at home while at work. etc.
Lansinoh Manual Breast Pump
SO freaking comfy. Cute. You can use it for multiple things--pumping or nursing. did i mention it is so comfy? I stopped pumping at 4 months PP and ended up wearing this bra until my twins were one…simply stopped because my friend made fun of me for ...
Sublime® Hands-Free Pumping & Nursing Sports Bra
These helped so much to stimulate my let down and the heat felt amazing on the little clogs that happen.
