Having a baby comes with a lot of changes, including learning to feed your new little one. If you're planning to breastfeed or pump, that also means you'll experience a lot of changes to your body. For some people, breastfeeding and pumping comes easily, but for others it can be a big adjustment. Here are some great products that can help along your breastfeeding or pumping journey.
Momcozy V2 Hands-Free Breast Pump
$199
from
Pumping breast milk can be a great way to supplement nursing, create a stockpile of milk, or increase milk supply — so having a comfortable, user-friendly, efficient pump is an absolute must for new moms. This portable, wearable breast pump provides all the features of a traditional plug-in electric breast pump, but with much more freedom. The pump is compact and lightweight, with a clip-on hook so moms can take the pump wherever they need; they can wear it while loading the dishwasher, cooking a meal, or playing with another child. With an upgraded 4-cylinder motor, which is more powerful than others on the market, this pump ensures efficient pumping sessions and good output. The patent-pending DoubleFit™ flange design provides leak-free, comfortable pumping sessions. Additionally, there are a number of features that ensure discreet pumping sessions: the milk collector of the pump fits perfectly into a bra, the motor operates quietly, and the settings can be controlled remotely.
Momcozy 4-in-1 Pumping Bra
There are tons of nursing and pumping bras out there, so it’s important to find one that suits all your needs. This 4-in-1 bra can be used as a pumping bra, a nursing bra, a maternity bra, and an everyday bra. This bra supports all breast pumps (it fits standard flanges and wearable electric pumps) and has a hands-free design. It’s made of super comfortable seamless stretch fabric with a wide bottom band and quilted, adjustable shoulder straps. When you want one bra that can do it all, this is a great option.
KeaBabies Original Diaper Bag (With Insulated Pockets)
Having a solid diaper bag is important for all aspects of new parenthood, but when you're pumping, it's essential to have a bag with an insulated compartment. This diaper bag has a ton of storage potential, so it can hold everything you need, from diapers and wipes, to burp cloths and blankets, to pumping supplies. If you're pumping on the go, the insulated pocket can keep breast milk cool until you can refrigerate or freeze it.
Lansinoh Manual Breast Pump
Whether you're planning on pumping or not, it's always a good idea to have a manual breast pump if you are breastfeeding. Why? In case you need to spend a longer time away from your baby and don't get a chance to nurse. It can be uncomfortable or even painful to go longer than expected without breastfeeding, so keeping a manual breast pump around can be a lifesaver.
Nursing-Friendly Clothing
Many at-home outfits (like pajamas and loungewear) are already nursing-friendly, since they're loose and stretchy, but it's good to have a few more formal nursing-friendly outfits. These can be clothes for work, dresses for events, or just cute outfits to wear for brunch. This 2-in-1 maternity and nursing shirt dress serves multiple purposes, since it can be worn throughout pregnancy and postpartum.
Medela Quick Clean MicroSteam Bags
Cleaning bottles and breast pump parts can be a hassle, so these reusable Medela Quick Clean MicroSteam bags are a huge help. In just three minutes, you can clean and sanitize your feeding accessories — put the parts in the bag, add water, and heat in the microwave. It's that simple!
