Breastfeeding Resource Guide

If you spent hours researching breast pumps before your baby arrived but only a few minutes choosing your pumping bra, this blog is for you. Most moms dedicate their time to finding out which breast pump they should buy. Reading reviews and deciding between a traditional flange pump or a wearable breast pump. The hands-free pumping bra purchase is usually an after thought. As a mom of three who nursed and pumped for a combined eight years, I have learned that your pumping bra and your breast pump MUST work together as a team.

If you are preparing to breastfeed, one of the biggest decisions on your list is choosing the right breast pump. If you have started researching your options, you have probably realized that breast pumps are not one size fits all for everyone. So how do you know which breast pump you actually need?

One of the easiest ways to narrow down your options is to think about breast pumps in two categories: your primary breast pump and your secondary breast pump. Let’s dive into this topic further.

As a bra designer and mom of three, I can tell you breast changes are one of the biggest physical transformations women experience during pregnancy, but also one of the least talked about.

So let’s walk through breast changes by trimester, what’s normal, and how to stay comfortable through it all.

For breastfeeding moms, a beach or pool day can bring up a lot of questions, especially if you're exclusively pumping. Can you pump in a swimsuit?

Do you need to change out of your wet bathing suit top every time you need to pump? The good news for pumping moms is yes, you can absolutely pump in a swimsuit with the right setup.

We've collaborated with Brianne Taggart, RN, IBCLC + Founder of Breezy Babies to help prepare you for breastfeeding before your baby is born. You’ve packed the hospital bag.

Pumping bras are designed with reinforced slits or layers of fabric that your flanges slide through. Once the flange is placed in, the fabric hugs the flange from both sides and holds it securely against your breast. You shouldn’t have to push the flanges against you or hold your bottles in place with a well fitting hands free pumping bra, the bra does the work for you.
