Breastfeeding Resource Guide

If you’re switching to glass baby bottles, you’ve probably wondered: Can I pump directly into glass bottles? And if I can… will they be too heavy to pump hands-free? More breastfeeding moms are choosing glass over plastic. But when it comes to pumping, there are a few practical details that matter. Let's review together!

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.

If you’ve ever heard the phrase hands-free pumping and assumed it meant buying a wearable breast pump, you’re not alone. That assumption shows up everywhere for new moms and it’s quietly made pumping feel more expensive, more complicated, and more overwhelming than it needs to be. Coming from a mom of 3 who pumped and nursed for all of my babies, I can tell you pumping doesn't need to feel frustrating like one more chore on the list. The right tools can help you achieve your breastfeeding goals without adding stress.

Finding cute plus-size clothing is difficult… A comfortable and supportive plus size bra is even harder… But a plus size breastfeeding bra? Near impossible to find! Add to that the struggle of a bra that can work for both pumping and nursing and it’s enough to give any mom stress. Here are my top five recommendations for the best plus size breastfeeding bra on the market.
