All Things Breastfeeding & Pumping

The Breast Pump Thing (Yes, Your Insurance Pays for One)

Get the Spectra S1 through your insurance. Pay the upgrade fee if you have to, and then buy a Pumpables wearable on the side.

The Spectra S1 Plus

The main pump. Get it through insurance, pay the upgrade for cordless.

The Pumpables Genie Advanced

The wearable pump that actually performs. Comparable output to the Spectra, no tubes, fits in your bra.

Maymom Flanges

Skip the brand-name flanges. Maymom costs less and works just as well.

Smallshow Nursing Tops

Random Amazon brand, ridiculously affordable, and you won’t care when they get spit up on.

The Pumpables Genie Advanced

The wearable pump that actually performs. This is the hands-free situation.

Pump and Dump: Stop the Stress

You almost certainly don’t need to pump and dump after a drink. Here’s why.

Boob Maintenance

Leaking, engorgement, clogged ducts, mastitis. The physical side nobody warns you about. There is no Heimlich for the boob.

Formula: It’s All Basically Fine

Don’t stress. This stuff is regulated to high heaven.

Bottle Warmers

None of these are great. We have the Kiinde Kozii. It’s fine.
