Wearable pump

Try the Medela off Amazon.

I loved Elvie Stride with my first kid. I could pump while on the floor as a nurse and no one knew I was pumping since I’d just kept a set on at all times and would turn it on at regular intervals then dump when I finished a pump. With my second, I am not accommodating my work and am making them give me 2 breaks since it’s policy. I have a Luna Motif and am loving being able to sit and breathe twice a day and snack on my lactation balls I make to help with my supply.

I love the eufy s1! The heating function is amazing and I love that I can control it through the app so if I need to adjust the settings at work I can do so without having to dig in my shirt. And then as far as essentials, definitely a cooler of some sort to store your milk in. I love the Momcozy cooler! I have a bag I carry all my stuff in. Inside I have the cooler, pump wipes to clean my pump parts in between pumps, nipple butter just in case, extra charger, storage bags just in case and a handheld pump just in case something is wrong with my wearable!

There really aren’t too many portable options out there on the market right now that are good, but Baby Buddha or a Zoomee are good options too. You can hack both with cup flanges too. But, honestly if you can afford getting a second hand pump like Spectra or Motif and leave it at work would be the best option.

You can also use a big Stanley thermos too as a cooler.

I liked my Willow Go. I used a Momcozy set while I was in the NICU I thought was pretty good. I pumped on the way to work and home (1 hr each way) and every few hours at work with my Willows. I had the 5 oz cups and usually didn't have to empty but they do make 7 oz cups. I also liked being able to control the pumps with the app. My biggest gripe was honestly that they were micro USB and not USB-C chargers. Whatever pumps you'd get I'd at least recommend getting a warranty. I still pumped once a day with my Spectra pump just to be safe but I probably would have been ok without it. As far as essentials, I bought a large lunchbox, ice packs, a wash bin and bottle brush, and a bottle dryer. At first I was air drying but that got old quick. I tucked a bottle dryer I bought second hand in the corner and it made it so much easier having my parts dry when it was time to pump. Also nipple balm, a burp cloth or two, and sometimes my nipple cups.

I’m a first time mom & my sisters recommended the momcozy m5 so I have that as my mobile pump
