10 Best Breastfeeding Products
With all of the products available, its hard to tell what you will really need. Here are my top 10 recommendations!
Breast Pump. You really want a double electric breast pump. Even if you plan on exclusively feeding from your breast, you may find a need to pump on occasion, and a pump is useful for comfort, a nursing strike, or convenience if you and your partner are going for date night. My favorite pump is the Spectra S1, but there are lots of good options out there. Remember to also stock up on accessories like extra flanges, tubing and silicone parts as those can wear down.
Nursing Bra. A good fitting bra is critical. Anything iwth an underwire is not advised while breastfeeding as it can increase clogged ducts and mastitis. I suggest for your first nursing bra, find a stretchy one that is sized by Small/Medium/Large as those will have the most flexibility for fit since your breasts will change size once your milk comes in. Here are my favorite ones to get started with.
Breastfeeding Pillow-will make your neck and shoulders happy!
Apple Watch-for tracking feeds, diapers etc. I also LOVE the Sprout App for tracking on your watch
Water Bottle-breastfeeding makes you THIRSTY! Keep one of these near you at all times
