Breastfeeding pillows are really dependent on your body, so go test some out. We loved Nook, because it’s organic, and also the most attractive of the bunch, but the breast friend is what most lactation consultants recommend.

Designed to be used while you are breastfeeding, you can use this handheld pump while you are feeding on the other side, and it will collect your milk.

This pump is great because it's small, silent and fits discreetly in your bra so you can literally pump anywhere. The only problem is that it’s not covered by insurance. They do accept HSA/FSA funds, though.

Usually, your insurance will pay for (most) of your pump. We used Aeroflow for this. Basically, they coordinate with your insurance company so you don't have to! The S1 is great because you can charge it (portable) so you can bring it in the car/plane/whatever.

With ingredients including marshmallow and calendula, this cream is thickened with beeswax and shea butter and helps to soothe the discomfort of chapped, sore nipples. You can also use it for pump lubricant, for chapped lips and dry skin.

Epsom salts are amazing for so many reasons. We loved using them for breastfeeding, specifically, to help soften things - they can really help with clogged ducts. You can even fill a bowl and dangle your boob into it! You can also do a foot soak in the evening to help draw energy down for a more restful nights sleep.
