For the first few months, Millie had a very difficult time breast feeding. She would just scream and scream but if I gave my milk to her in a bottle, she loved it. I have spent countless hours pumping and all that jazz. Even after things settled down and she started eating well, I continued to pump while working and taking classes.
Here are some of my favorite products that I found helped me make pumping a more positive experience:
- Lansinoh Signature Pro Double Electric BPA FREE Breast Pump
— Huge discount here
- This pump is so great — and I have tried a few.
- I appreciated that it automatically adjusts and changes the rhythm of the suction just as a baby would do.
- I like how small and easy this pump is to travel with, you can throw it in any bag (it even comes with an optional tote).
- There is also a timer on it so that you can keep track of everything and your pregnacy/new mommy brain doesn’t forget when you started – so convenient.
- Lansinoh – Simple Wishes D Lite Hands Free Breastpump Bra
- This pumping bra was so helpful when I needed to get things done while pumping, which was basically every time. I could use this and get ready while pumping – so handy.
- This particular pumping bra is especially nice because the flaps hold the pump on better than other brands that I have tried.
- Lansinoh Disposable Nursing Pads
- I’ve used these morning, noon, and night for over a year now (yes while pregnant too), and I love them! I never have to worry about leaking.
- They have the option to stick to your clothing (bra) so that they will stay put.
- They are very soft and even have a softer type for the first few weeks of adjusting to breastfeeding: Lansinoh Ultra Soft Disposable Nursing Pads
.
- Lansinoh Soothies Gel Pads
& Lansinoh HPA Lanolin
- Trust me, these are a MUST. You will learn that if you haven’t already – so relieving.
- Lansinoh Breast Milk Storage Bags
- Loved the double seal on these, It helped me have a piece of mind that I wouldn’t loose any of my “liquid gold” (and I never did).
- The shape of the top seal helps so that you can pour into a bottle very easily – much appreciated.
