Now that I am nursing my 4th baby I think I can safely claim to be somewhat of an expert on nursing and the products that make it easier. I have tried lots of products over the years and these products are the ones that I can not live without and will make your life as a nursing mom much easier.Here is my list of MUST HAVE NURSING ESSENTIALS.
1. Bravado Nursing Bras: I have tried many of the Bravado nursing bras and they are all fabulous, you really can not go wrong with a Bravado nursing bra. These bras are supportive, comfortable and will make you feel sexy (yes there is a nursing bra that can do that). I highly recommend the Bliss, Allure and Sublime nursing bras.
2. Nursing Tank Tops: I have two favorite nursing tank tops that I highly recommend Bravado nursing tank top (although I wish they did not cut down in the front so far) and the other is the Glamourmom nursing tank top. A nursing tank top is great for keeping you covered when you have to nurse around others plus they are great for helping smooth out your post-baby belly.
3. Nursing cover: I have used many things over the years as nursing covers from shawls to baby blankets, but the best is my nursing cover from LittleQT which sadly is no more but a nursing cover you love is a must have so you can be comfortable nursing wherever you need to.
4. Nursing Clothes: A few years ago I would have denied this but now I have discovered some great clothing companies that make stylish nursing clothing a few companies to check out are Annee Matthew, DOTE and Seraphine.
5. Boppy Nursing Pillow: This is another item I went without my first child and then realized what I was missing. Get a Boppy and save your back while nursing!
What are your nursing essentials, any great nursing companies you love?
Great finds, Ellen!
When I was nursing that boppy pillow was a lifesaver! Loved it!
I agree…. Must haves! I nursed 2 children…one until the age of 2 and found the cover, tanks, bras, and tops to be invaluable
I’m nursing baby #5 and this is my first time to have Bravado nursing bras. I thought they were probably overrated and overpriced
I was WAY wrong. Oh my goodness, they are like a little slice of heaven. I am SO thankful I shelled out the dough for them. They’ve changed my life (really, I mean, I’ve been nursing a baby most of my adult life!).
