PRODUCT RECOMMENDATIONS

(Not affiliated nor sponsored)

Finding Your Fit

• Legendairy Milk Nipple Ruler < Find your perfect fit.

• Medela Contact Nipple Shield < Available in 24mm, 20mm, and 16mm.

Getting a Better Nipple Shield Latch

• Motherlove Nipple Cream < I consider this a must-have! I have had better success keeping the nipple shield in place with this cream than I did with lanolin. Bonus: it is less sticky and easier to clean off!

Making Pumping Easier

• Legendairy Milk Pumping Spray < My absolute favorite! This helps make pumping feel even more comfortable, and helps prevent chafing.

• Legendairy Milk Duckbill Valves < The pull tabs on these make them much easier to remove after each pump session for washing!

Comfort

• Cotton Rounds < I use these to wipe each breast clean after a feeding or pump session. They are soft, they don’t leave any fibers behind, and I can use only one cotton round at a time for less waste.

• Bamboobies Nursing Pads < Comfortable and better for the environment! Plus, they have a thicker Overnight version that is a total clothing-saver.

Milk Flow

• LaVie Warming Lactation Massagers < A warm compress coupled with consistent vibration that helps encourage let-down. Also great for massaging clogged ducts and hardened areas when it’s been a bit longer than usual between sessions!

• Legendairy Milk “Pump Princess” Supplements < Helped improve my milk production – these capsules work much better for me than comparable supplements that contain Fenugreek.

• Legendairy Milk Sunflower Lecithin < In my experience, these capsules helped clear my clogged milk ducts fast.

Attire

• Kindred Bravely Sublime® Hands-Free Pumping & Nursing Bra < Keeps my breast pump assemblies firmly in place instead of getting “droopy” from the added weight of milk!

• Latched Mama Nursing Attire < Babydoll Tops, Dresses, Hoodies, Pullovers, and more! I love this woman-owned, local-to-me small business.
