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.

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.
