One of the biggest surprises in early motherhood was how much emotion, pain, and stress encompassed breastfeeding. Here are some items that quite literally became our BREAST FRIENDS!
Safe for mom and baby, Lanolin 100% natural organic cream can help nourish dry and chapped nipples due to breastfeeding. We recommend this set that comes with the tube and the balm. But if you are just wanting to try it out, this small set is a killer price!
These nipple shields are hands-down my top recommendation to nursing/pumping mamas! Silver has natural healing properties making these a safe solution for pain and discomfort. I wore them for about 6 months (!!) because they were unbelievably comfortable! *I did wear extra padding in my bra so they wouldn’t show through my clothes as much. They may be made of silver but they are worth their weight in gold!
These nursing bras are an Amazon Best seller, come in a three-pack (less than $10 a bra), and in several colors. I ordered a size up and now that my baby is weaning, just ordered a smaller size. They are unbelievably comfortable (enough to sleep in!) and have lasted a year with no issues.
Pumping Bras are funky, no matter what. But I found this pumping bra to be extremely helpful for pumping hands-free at home.
This boob-friendly compress might seem extra but believe me, when your breast is throbbing and your nipple is tender, these are LIFE SAVERS. Great for new nursing/pumping mothers!
These soothing Gel Pads totally hit the spot when your nipples are sore, cracked, or just had a set of sharp baby teeth bite into them.
Our favorite disposables come in a set of 200 and an adhesive back so they stick to the inside of your bra with ease. If you are looking for a reusable option, this organic set comes in an 8 pack and is machine washable + they are on major sale right now!
