Our Favorite Pumping Products

Some nursing moms say looking at a picture of their baby while pumping helps them speed up the entire process, and other moms swear by the sock trick. If you are a nursing mom who is pumping between feedings, while you are on-the-go, or trying to find a quiet space to pump at work, we’ve rounded up products that will make pumping that liquid gold a little easier. From cleaning items to hands-free options and ways to take care of yourself, you’ll want these products around for your next pumping session.

Wearable Breast Pump

Having to sit in one spot near an electrical outlet while you pump is frustrating. So, wearable breast pumps are appealing to nursing moms. Simply place the pumps inside your bra, turn them on, and let them do the work while you grab something to eat, do a little cleaning, hang out with your kids, or catch up on your favorite shows. Although they’re convenient, some wearable breast pumps have a pretty hefty price tag. This is why the Momcozy wearable breast pump has gained popularity online with pumping moms. It’s a fraction of the cost of the other wearable pumps, but it still does a great job. Check out some of the reviews on Youtube and TikTok to get inside tips on how to use this truly hands-free pump.

Hands-Free Pumping Bra

Motherhood Maternity has a bra that multitasks just like moms do. It’s designed to be a comfortable bra that works for nursing and hands-free pumping. So, you don’t need to buy two separate bras for the times you are nursing your baby and the times you need to pump. Another awesome feature of this bra is that it offers extra coverage for the times you may find yourself pumping in a not-so-private environment. You can even nurse on one side and pump on the other with this handy bra! It’s a best seller for a reason.

Breastmilk Cooler Bag

All that liquid gold needs to stay cold until you can get it home to your baby or inside the freezer. Luckily, this breastmilk cooler bag will save the day! It’s perfect to take if you are at work, traveling, or simply away from your baby while you pump. Since the bag is leakproof and large enough to hold several bottles, you can carry this bag with you when you’re on the go with your baby or if they’re headed to daycare and need bottles already prepared.

Breast Pump Bag

Instead of tossing your breast pump into a backpack or a reusable grocery bag, give yourself and your pump an upgrade with this chic bag. Sarah Wells Breast Pump Bags were designed by a nursing mom, so they come equipped with handy compartments and pockets for every part of your pump. The bags come in a variety of colors and according to reviewers, they are super easy to clean, too.

Lactation Support Tea

We love anything that can help mom relax, and if sipping a delicious tea also helps to increase your milk supply, we are a fan. Rae's Root Tea Milkflow has 16 tea bags filled with herbs that boost your milk supply. The teas are made with Chinese herbs called adaptogens that naturally reduce stress in the body, help fight fatigue, boost immunity, and encourage inner balance. The tea is designed by a mom who knows how tough the "fourth trimester" can be for a new mom.

Portable Pump

If you need a lightweight pump that is effective and easy to take on the go, check out the Luna Double Electric Breast Pump. With the rechargeable battery, you won’t be tied down to finding an electrical outlet. New mom Mandy Moore has even shared her love of this pump on Instagram!

Breast Pump Cleaning Wipes

When you need to quickly clean up your pump, these wipes will come in handy. You can safely clean all parts of your breast pump without using soap and water or any harsh chemicals, alcohol, or bleach. Just toss these wipes in your bag and you’ll be ready to go! The wipes can also be used on other surfaces like high chairs, toys, or changing tables.

Probiotics for Nursing Moms

You’ve got all these gadgets to make pumping easier, but make sure you're taking care of yourself too. If you’ve been wanting to add a probiotic into your daily routine, check out Mommy’s Bliss. The Postnatal Lactation Support with Probiotics from Mommy’s Bliss contains fenugreek, blessed thistle, and milk thistle to support your milk supply as well as probiotics to support your immunity and digestive health. Plus, it doesn’t contain added sugar or artificial colors or flavors.

Spray Hand Sanitizer

Before and after you pump, you’ll want to sanitize your hands. This spray hand sanitizer from Abby and Finn helps to make killing germs a lot easier. It’s made with only four ingredients, as recommended by the World Health Organization and FDA, so it’s super convenient and safe for everyone in your family. You’ll want to toss a bottle in all of your bags and purses.
