I exclusively pumped for majority of my bf journey with each of my kids. I've tried just about every product out there. These are my must haves!
I highly recommend following this beautiful lady on Instagram. She posts honest and detailed reviews for just about every product out there.

This is the best pump ever!! It's so small and portable but it's so strong. I've owned Medela, Spectra, Elvis, you name it and nothing compares to this. I recommend turning it on when it's not attached to you so you can learn when the long pulls are....
BabyBuddha® 2.0 New & Improved Breast Pump
You can't get a more perfect pair than this! 😍 This would make a perfect baby shower gift. The Ceres Chill will keep your milk cold because it has an ice chamber that goes inside the container. And the bag fits your milk, parts, and pump!

I use this on the opposite breast that I'm nursing with to catch milk. It also has several other uses like using it when you have clogs or to find some relief when weaning.

Gotta always keep these on hand if you are producing milk because you never know what will trigger a let down and don't want to soak through your clothes

I prefer this type of valve vs the medela with the little flap that can easily tear or be misplaced. Always keep extra parts on hand and remember to change them out as needed for everything to function properly
Spectra Duckbill Valve Set - 2ct
It's so easy to prep bottles and bags with this pour spout. I prep daily bottles the night before so I can grab and go.
