Breastfeeding Resource Guide

For breastfeeding moms, a beach or pool day can bring up a lot of questions, especially if you're exclusively pumping. Can you pump in a swimsuit? Will your breast pump stay in place or will you have to hold it the entire session? Do you need to change out of your wet bathing suit top every time you need to pump? The good news for pumping moms is yes, you can absolutely pump in a swimsuit with the right setup.

We've collaborated with Brianne Taggart, RN, IBCLC + Founder of Breezy Babies to help prepare you for breastfeeding before your baby is born. You’ve packed the hospital bag. You’ve folded the tiny onesies. You’ve probably Googled “how often should a newborn eat?” at least once. But here’s what most parents don’t think about until 2am on day three: Breastfeeding support. So let’s talk about what to know about breastfeeding before delivery — and how setting yourself up early can completely change your postpartum experience.

If you’re switching to glass baby bottles, you’ve probably wondered: Can I pump directly into glass bottles? And if I can… will they be too heavy to pump hands-free? More breastfeeding moms are choosing glass over plastic. But when it comes to pumping, there are a few practical details that matter. Let's review together!

Pumping bras are designed with reinforced slits or layers of fabric that your flanges slide through. Once the flange is placed in, the fabric hugs the flange from both sides and holds it securely against your breast. You shouldn’t have to push the flanges against you or hold your bottles in place with a well fitting hands free pumping bra, the bra does the work for you.

If you’ve ever heard the phrase hands-free pumping and assumed it meant buying a wearable breast pump, you’re not alone. That assumption shows up everywhere for new moms and it’s quietly made pumping feel more expensive, more complicated, and more overwhelming than it needs to be. Coming from a mom of 3 who pumped and nursed for all of my babies, I can tell you pumping doesn't need to feel frustrating like one more chore on the list. The right tools can help you achieve your breastfeeding goals without adding stress.

Here are my top five recommendations for the best plus size breastfeeding bra on the market.
