Breastfeeding
Top 10 Items for Breastfeeding Moms
Haakaa Manual Breast Pump COMPLETELY REVOLUTIONIZED MY BREASTFEEDING JOURNEY. And for only $12.94 it is my #1 recommendation for breastfeeding moms! CLICK HERE for Haaka with a storage cap. I don't have it... but i wish I did!
Organic Bamboo Nursing Breast Pads are not only environmentally friendly they are also super comfy and absorbent.
Disposable Nursing Pads (For on the go or other times that reusable ones are not clean or available)
Bun Maternity Nursing Tank or any Bun Maternity Nursing/Maternity Apparel
Backrest Pillow (Forget the Boppy or My Breast Friend - you need a backrest pillow for yourself!)
What to Expect The First Year there are also so many great tips about the beginning of life in What To expect When You're Expecting
Parent's Choice 9oz Bottles - I love these for expressing milk and using for bottle feeding older babies who drink more. For younger babies we liked the Comotomo Bottle or Medela Bottle (especially if you have a Medela breastpump that the bottles are compatible with BUT we did have a few that got warped out of shape over many uses and washes).
Becoming A Milk Donor
Looking for some good news during these crazy times? Today we donated 80oz of breastmilk which puts us over 300oz that we've donated during quarantine thanks to my little one! I am so glad that we are able to show our children what it means to give in a time where we dont have much to give. I encourage moms who have thought about donating to contact your local milk bank to see id becoming a donor is a good option for you and your baby! I missed the opportunity with my firstborn and I am so glad I took the plunge and went throught the process to be a milk donor this time around!
