As an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant, lactation director at Motif Medical and owner of educational platform Genesis Lactation, Ashley Georgekopoulos knows a thing or two about that breastfeeding life and all the little essentials that come with making nursing easier. Here is her ultimate registry guide for breastfeeding so that you have everything you need once it’s time to get started come baby time.
“Quality and efficacy ring true for the new battery-powered Luna. Its quiet motor maintains its suction strength and consistency whether pumping a single breast or for double pumping. It has a closed-system, its light weight, and with a digital screen for easy monitoring and distinct modes.” Photo courtesy of @motifmedical
“Milk handling and inventory is important. Register for milk storage bags, like these from Motif Medical, that allow for easy pouring, labeling, and measured storing.” Photo courtesy of @motifmedical
“This soothing balm applies smoothly and absorbs right into the skin, protecting nipple tissue and the skin barrier, which protects against thrush. Nipple balm may also be used to treat cracking.” Photo courtesy of Hatch
“A nursing cover is great for privacy or to keep distractible babies on task to complete their feedings. Many double as carrier covers, and Bebe au Lait’s 5-in-1 Cover can also be used for lining a shopping cart, worn as a scarf and used as a car seat cover.” Photo courtesy of @bebeaulait
“DockATot’s La Maman Wedge is a new favorite. It’s easy to tote around, luxurious to the touch, easy to spot clean, and so comfortable to help position baby for optimal feeding. Support for arms while pumping and tummy time for baby are other uses.” Photo courtesy of @dockatoteurope
“A good bottle will balance slower flow rate and comfort, with the intent to mimic breastfeeding and minimizing pressure to pump more than what is actually needed to keep up. Check out brands like Nanobebe that specifically keep this in mind to help meet breastfeeding and pumping goals.” Photo courtesy of @nanobebe_world
