Breastfeeding has been known to be emotionally and physically difficult for the majority of new mothers. As first-time moms, we always assume it would be “breast to baby’s mouth” and the rest being a fairytale breastfeeding history. Most often, this tends to be a huge misunderstanding of it all. It takes dedication, persistence, strength and up until now, some brilliant products to break through the early breastfeeding stage struggles. The difficulty of it all makes some mothers give up breastfeeding completely which shouldn’t be the case.
We have compiled a list of products that ease the struggles of breastfeeding making it enjoyable for you and your little one.
Lactation Massager;
This little device does absolute wonders by eliminating any ailment associated with breastfeeding. With it’s vibrating feature, it has also been known to increase breast milk flow, is waterproof (meaning it can be used in the shower) and is rechargeable.
The Baby Buddha;
For those times when you aren’t nursing your little one, this is the smallest breast pump in the world that would come in super handy. Its brilliance and praise aren’t only because it is smaller than your mobile phone and can be used or taken anywhere but because the suction is second to none as it has a very unique rhythm that stimulates the breast and expresses almost two times more milk than other breast pumps. This has been known to be the holy grail of breast pumps.
The Belibea Bra and camisole;
This bra and camisole are truly some of the most perfect nursing apparels currently. The camisole doesn’t only have full coverage with its double snap buttons for a no exposure nursing and pumping, but also has a very strong hold when pumping ensuring flanges stay in place. It comes with its own nursing pads and is very comfortable. Best of all it comes in a bra as well making it a perfect nursing combo.
Breast Milk Collector;
This is a perfect example of “moms did not realize they needed this until they used it”. It fits perfectly in your bra and catches all the leaky milk. This holds up to 60ml of breast milk that would have been wasted on a nursing pad. For mothers who do not get enough milk, this is heaven sent. It is a cup and once full can easily be poured into a bottle for future feeds.
The Essential Nursing Pads
For the times where you would rather a nursing pad than the breastmilk collector, this is the only pad you will need. It is washable, leakproof (meaning no more wet blouses), doesn’t show outside your bra like the others and holds up to 80ml of milk – YES! 80ml. The best part of all, it comes in night and day pads. It is honestly one of the most brilliant nursing pads you can ever find.
In summary, there are products out there that can ease out your motherhood journey struggles. Not just with breastfeeding but in general. It is so darn hard and what we put in physically, emotionally and mentally is seriously highly underestimated. Finding these products may take some digging to discover, (which is why we love this website that literally has them all on one platform to purchase) but, it is so worth it.
Look out for part 2 to know even more breastfeeding and pumping products that would absolutely blow your mind.
