Comfort is queen, mama! I used these bras from pregnancy through my post-breastfeeding days. They are durable, super comfy, and best of all, affordable.
2. Haakaa Manual Breastpump - get it HERE
Ah, the unsung hero of milk collection! Pop it onto your other breast while you're nursing and catch that precious liquid gold that would otherwise be wasted. I discovered it late in my breastfeeding game, but better late than never, right?
3. Breast Pads - get Bamboobies HERE
Don’t want to walk around with a wet shirt, do you? Nope! Invest in some good breast pads—disposable or washable, your choice. They keep you dry and presentable.

4. Milk Catchers or Breast Shells - get 'em HERE
Ever heard of these? They collect milk throughout the day while you're multitasking (because aren’t we all!). Pour the contents into a bottle, freeze it, and boom, more milk for baby without any extra effort.
5. Milk Storage Bags - get yours HERE
Lansinoh, Medela, or even some cool new reusable silicone ones—these bags are lifesavers for building up your milk stash. Freeze them, label them, and appreciate some peace of mind.
6. Freezer Milk Holder - get one HERE
Keep your freezer organized with a dedicated milk storage container. It ensures your precious milk doesn’t get lost amidst the frozen peas and ice cream.

Comfortable, effective, and designed to fit your unique body. They minimize discomfort and help you avoid mastitis, which is not fun—Google it if you need a nightmarish story.
