Breastfeeding Essentials: What You Actually Need
Must-haves for nursing success, minus the gimmicks.
Skip the marketing. Here's what breastfeeding parents actually use.
Must-Haves
- Breast pump: Free through insurance. Spectra S1/S2 or Medela.
- Nursing pillow: Boppy or My Brest Friend.
- Nipple cream: Lansinoh or Earth Mama.
- Nursing bras: 3-4 comfortable ones.
- Haakaa: Catches letdown on the other side.
Nice to Have
Nursing pads (reusable or disposable), milk storage bags, nursing cover (if you want one).
Skip These
Expensive nursing shirts (regular button-downs work), complicated pumping bras, breast milk jewelry.
