10 Breastfeeding Items Worth Buying, No Matter How Silly They Seem
byCat Bowen
Having breastfed for several years of my life, I've tried pretty much everything. I've bought lactation cookies from a shady baker on Etsy, a hand pump that looks like a bubble, and more types of breast pads than any one person could conceivably need. But thanks to my shopping habit, I'm the perfect person to help you get the best breast accessories your boobs are likely to come across. I truly believe there are some breastfeeding items worth buying, no matter how frivolous they seem.
Every year there's some sort of new innovation when it comes to the oldest food in the world — breast milk. Gone are the days of hand cramping pumps and makeshift ice packs. Now we have silicone hybrid ice gel packs that can be warm or cool, breast pumps that are hands free, pillows catered to your specific height, and there's probably some sort of breast milk aid that's been shot into the mesosphere or something. Honestly, if it did something awesome, like let me sleep as my husband latched the baby onto my boob, I'd totally try it. Alas, that remedy has yet to be discovered, but many more are still available and ready for purchase at your leisure.
