That’s where the right breastfeeding products can help. We’ve rounded up some handy bits and pieces that might make things smoother, comfier, and less of a mess, because anything that gives mums a break is worth shouting about
8 Handy helpers to make feeding feel a little bit easier
The Lady Alpha Nursing Cool Cover
RRP: USD 59.99 (AUD 92.06)
WHERE TO BUY: Shop Lady Alpha
Feeding your baby in the heat is no fun. Between the stickiness, sweat, and fussy meltdowns (from both of you), it can feel impossible to get through a single feed. That’s where The Lady Alpha Nursing Cool Cover steps in , the world’s first nursing cover with built-in cooling. It’s designed to keep breastfeeding calm, private, and most importantly, breezy.
The real hero here is the bladeless, baby-safe fan discreetly tucked inside. It’s quiet, removable, rechargeable, and has three cooling speeds, giving off a gentle white noise that soothes as it cools. The lightweight, breathable fabric, peek-in neckline, and roomy fit make it easy to see your baby while feeding, and versatile enough to use while pumping, babywearing, or covering the capsule.
Created by a mum who’d had enough of hot, flustered feeds, this clever cover is a game changer, especially during sweltering Aussie summers. The Lady Alpha Nursing Cool Cover makes sure comfort comes first, whether you’re feeding at the park, on the go, or at home without air con.

Breathable Silver Nursing Cups
RRP: From $99
WHERE TO BUY: Mammae
Silver nursing cups are known for helping soothe sore, cracked nipples. But sometimes, traditional solid designs aren’t the best choice.
They can trap moisture, leave uncomfortable pressure marks, and require you to wear a bra at all times just to keep them in place.
Mammae fixed all that. These are the first silver nursing cups with a breathable airflow design and the option for bra-free wear using the aloe-infused hydrogel adhesives to secure them in place.
Made with 999 pure fine silver, they support healing with natural antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties, without using mixed alloy metals (925 silver).
Each silver nursing cup includes a medical-grade, ultra-soft silicone cushion that stays in place, offers non-slip support inside a bra, and protects sensitive, engorged breasts from indentation marks.
They’re mother-founded, endorsed by midwives and IBCLCs, multi-award-winning and listed on the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods as a Class I Medical Device (ARTG 441401), FDA listed, and CE marked for quality and safety.
Real comfort, real healing, and real freedom.
