Breastfeeding Checklist: What You’ll Need
Our best breastfeeding products are designed for comfort and convenience for mums. Here is a quick breastfeeding checklist of what you’ll need:
- FOR PUMPING: A breastfeeding pump and/or milk catcher and milk storage system, such as freezable storage bags.
- FOR COMFORT: A good breastfeeding pillow can make or break your breastfeeding experience and ensure you feel comfortable and bub feel secure while feeding.
- FOR NIPPLE PROTECTION: Nipple cream or a nipple shield are ideal, especially in the first few weeks when your nipples may feel the sting of starting breastfeeding.
- FOR EXTRA ENERGY/MILK PRODUCTION:Â Breastfeeding is exhausting so a protein powder or product to increase your milk supply is a great investment, not only to keep up to the daily demands but to also increase your milk supply.
- FOR MILKY MOMENTS:Â Disposable or reusable breast pads are incredibly affordable and also keep you leak-free during feeds, overnight or simply when a baby cries and your breasts decide to leak.
- FOR EASY ACCESS: A good breastfeeding bra is a godsend and we also recommend you purchase some breastfeeding clothing so you can easily feed when out and about without having to wiggle your way out of your shirt.
- FOR FEEDING ANYWHERE:Â We also recommend a breastfeeding cover which can double as a multi-mum accessory such as a chic scarf or pram cover.

Lacevo S70 In-Bra Breast Pump
Our pick for Best Breast Pump
RRP: $499
Where to buy: LACEVO
We’ll start with the most important asset (apart from your breasts, of course) when breastfeeding – a breast pump! We always recommend that you invest in a high-quality breast pump as pumping can be incredibly time-consuming and frustrating if you don’t have a effective and powerful pump on hand. The LACEVO S70 In-Bra Breast Pump Set is the gold standard of wearable breast pumps, and here’s why.
Not only is the S70 wearable so you can use it hands-free (simply slide it into your bra), but it’s also powerful with hospital-grade suction, 12 levels of suction and four modes. What’s especially cool about the S70 is the vibration and smart rhythm patterns that emulate a baby feeding and help stimulate your letdown for faster expressing of more milk! Expect a gentle yet effective pump anytime, whether pumping on one side or both.
The S70 comes with two pumps, two 180ml milk collectors, bra extenders, cleaning brushes, cables, a waterproof bag and 6 different flange sizes. It also comes with a mirror so you can find your perfect fit and swap throughout your postpartum journey. You’ll experience a comfortable and pain-free fit while also ensuring maximum milk output. Finally, everything fits neatly inside your chic Lacevo EVA pump bag with removable strap so you can keep everything together, on the go or at home.
While the technology is fancy, the pump is easy to use and just as easy to clean. It comes with an easy-to-read display screen, and sensor alerts so you know when you’re nearing capacity and connects to the LAVECO app. Recharge easily with the 2-hour fast recharge and you’ll get 4-6 express sessions out of each charge.
