When it comes to feeding your baby, having the right tools can make all the difference. Whether you are pumping, breastfeeding, or bottle feeding, these are specific products that I use to streamline the process, solve common issues, and make feeding easier.
1. Best Products for Pumping
Breast Pumps

Hot and Cold Breast Pads (I pumped directly in these)
Momcozy Pumping Bra (you basically live in this thing – so better be a good one)

For pain, leaks, engorgement, clogged ducts
Lansinoh Stay Dry Disposable Nursing Pads (if you are dripping in between feeds)
Hot and Cold Breast Pads (if you have engorged breast or experience pain)
For travel with the breast pump & bottles (or going back to work)
2. Best Products for Bottle Feeding
Best Bottles
Bottle Warmers
Make sure you get the warmer compatible with your bottles. I used Dr Browns most of the time so I got the Browns warmer. Honestly I didn’t use it much because I fed my baby most of the time cold milk.
Formula dispenser
Drying racks & Sterilizers
Munchkin® Sterilize Microwave Bottle Steam Sterilizer Bags
On the go products
Drooling bibs
Burping cloths
I don’t really use them much, although I have them. My baby never spat up much. But they can be used for other purposes so it’s good to have a few around.
3. Best Products for Breastfeeding
Nursing Bras
Nursing pillow & tops
Nipple Care
Contact Nipple Shields for Breastfeeding (if your baby bites or can’t latch.)
Medela Breast Milk Collection Shells (if leaking during the day)
Lactation support (increase milk supply)
