There are so many options and products on the market to assist, enhance, and encourage a successful and bonding breastfeeding experience. From breastfeeding accessories to pumps, shells, and creams, you're sure to find something great for this special time. See our top ten list of the best breastfeeding products and accessories and check out our reviews from mothers to help you decide.
The most common breastfeeding product would be a Breast Pump. The Best Breast Pumps come in manual, battery operated, and electric. The manual pump is hand held and pumped. This is super convenient for time away from home. Its easily portable and discrete. The battery operated breast pump is more expensive than the manual pump, but does a little more of the work for you. The battery operated pump is also convenient and easy to transport. The electric pump is the most expensive and needs to be plugged into an outlet. An electric pump is most efficient, comfortable, and most like real breast feeding. Most electric pumps allow you to control the suction and speed. Electric breast pumps also come in single pump or dual pump. A dual pump will allow both breasts to be expelled at the same time, making it much more efficient.
Breast pump Accessories satisfy many needs of breastfeeding women and provide somewhat of a luxury. Breast pump accessories are anything from breast milk storage bags, bottles, trays, or containers to a nursing stool or boppy to cradle the baby into position without straining the mother. Nursing bra's and gowns are great for easy access and come in many different styles.
Breast Shells and Creams are great for lactating mothers. A breast shell is a silicone pad that fits over the breast to catch excess breast milk or leakage. There are many different creams that can be applied to the breast and areola area that relieve dry, cracked, or sore nipples. Most creams are safe for both baby and mother and do not need to be wiped off before breast feeding.
Nursing Pads function similarly to breast shells by discretely catching excess or leaky breast milk between feedings. These can be machine washable pads or disposable pads. These fit nicely into a bra and are comfortable and unnoticeable. A staple for any breastfeeding mother!
Nursing Covers come in many styles and fabrics and are used to cover the mother when breastfeeding in public or when you need your privacy. Most nursing covers go over your head like a shaw and drape over the front of the mother. Some allow for viewing the baby and many have unique features and versatile uses.
