Products for Pumping Parents

Writer's picture: Samantha PeairsonSamantha Peairson

Pumping is breastfeeding too! Sometimes, latching is not an option. There can be many reasons why a person does not want to latch, and that is okay. You can pump your milk and offer it to your baby via bottle. Your baby is still consider breastfed! This is also useful for parents who are pumping for returning to work or school!

Hands Free Pumping Bra

These bras are designed to make it easier for you to pump. You place the flanges in the opening and it "holds" them there for you. That way you can do other tasks if needed. Another option is to hold them yourself, or have a hands free pump. These bras are usually supportive as well, so you can wear them as your bra for easier access to pumping!

This Momcozy Hands Free Pumping Bra comes in sizes XS-XXXL.


Milk Storage Bags

Storing milk safely is an important part of being a pumping parent. You can use bottles, but I preferred bags. You can store more, and have extra space for other freezer necessities. If using bags, ensure the air is completely out of the bag; that way you can lay it flat and have more room to store your milk.


Nipple Measurement Tool

If you are unsure what size flange you need, it is important to measure your nipples. The best way to ensure proper flange sizing is to measure your nipple diameter. Utilizing the correct flange is essential to a successful pumping journey. A lactation consultant can also make sure you are using the correct size.


Wash Basin

It is recommended that you utilize a separate wash basin to clean your pump parts to decrease bacteria growth. There are many ways to do this, but this collapsible basin will come in handy for pumping on the go!

It is also recommended to use a separate brush to clean pump parts and bottles.


Milk Cooler

These are handy for when you don't have a space to put your milk, or you don't feel comfortable placing it in the work (milk) fridge/freezer. These coolers are also handy if you need to pump while out in public! You can put the bottles directly in there, or use milk bags to store more throughout your day. Just make sure to remember to put them in the actual fridge or freezer when you get home!



Happy pumping!

You're probably asking: "is it really necessary for all these products?" The answer: no. These are just tools to aid in your pumping journey. The tools needed for pumping are: a working pump, a milk supply (or working on initiating one), and something to store the milk in. Pumping doesn't have to be complicated, so I included these things that may assist in keeping it more simple. Happy pumping!
