Pumping moms will need a lot of breastmilk storage options. This is a great (and fairly inexpensive) option that can make the life of a soon-to-be breastfeeding mom much easier! You have a few options for breastmilk storage instead of typical baby bottles. During the day when I am on the go away from home, one of my top favorite options is the Ceres Chill Breastmilk Chiller. The original size holds over 20 ounces of breastmilk and keeps it cool with ice inside the chamber. It's one of the coolest inventions on the market, every new mom needs one! 

For freezer storage, there are disposable bags that you can fill, label, freeze and throw away after use. My favorite plastic options are Lansinoh and Target’s Up&Up brand. These also come in handy later on for things like snack bags or little toys, there’s always something that these can be used for! If you think mom would want a reusable freezer option, I would highly recommend Junobie milk bags! Unlike disposable bags, these milk storage bags can stand upright and are dishwasher-safe. They are great for on-the-go pumping or to use in the freezer at home!

2. Breastfeeding-Friendly Clothing

A new breastfeeding mom will basically need a new wardrobe for a year… at least! A few pieces that make nursing and pumping easy to do in public are a must have! Here are my favorite mom owned clothing brands for breastfeeding:

MLM BRAND

A top favorite mom owned company that makes comfy and cute breastfeeding dresses and tops is MLM Brand. They have a few different styles to choose from to match any occasion. You can wear to the office or for a day out with the kids. Layer with a jacket or on it's own in the warmer weather. There are endless options for their postpartum clothing. My favorite is to pump with the MLM dresses on the way to work by layering it over my Amelia Pumping and nursing crop cami.  

NURSING QUEEN

Nursing Queen is a great postpartum clothing brand, they have a wide variety of styles ranging from T-shirts to sweatshirts to dresses and more, all with easy nursing and pumping access. I love their sweatshirts with zipper access to nurse or pump without freezing. It's a know fact that keeping body temperature warm while pumping will help your output! It's way more comfortable pumping in Nursing Queen!

3. Postpartum Care

After their new baby arrives, a breastfeeding mom has a lot to deal with. Having the right items postpartum can make this new time much easier!

Another postpartum care item a breastfeeding mom will need is nipple ointment. I love Earth Mama’s organic nipple butter because it is lanolin-free and can help soothe sore nipples.

4. Breast Pump Bag and Organizers

If the soon-to-be breastfeeding mom is planning on pumping, having a high-quality pumping bag and organizers is helpful to keep everything in one place. For a mini diaper bag or breast pump bag for your small mobile pumps, I am a HUGE fan of my Mimiandpal Harper Pump Bag. For larger breast pumps, my go to is the MimiandPal Radley Breast pump backpack! 

Finally, I also love Be My Breastfriend’s accessory bag to keep all of your pumping supplies in one place. Bonus - it’s covered in boobs for a fun conversational piece with other breastfeeding moms!

5. Pumping and Nursing Bras

Last but certainly not least, don’t miss out on Davin & Adley’s collection of nursing and pumping bras. These bras are the perfect solution for any new breastfeeding mom, no matter what her unique breastfeeding journey looks like!

Their versatile designs are made to be multifunctional, offering seamless support whether a mom is nursing, pumping, or doing a combination of both. With a variety of styles to choose from, moms of all sizes including plus size and busty sizes can find the perfect nursing and pumping bra that suits her needs and personality.

If it’s mom's first time trying a Davin & Adley product, I highly recommend the Amelia Nursing and Pumping Bra. It’s an ideal choice for new moms, as it works with both flange style breast pumps and wearable breast pumps, while also offering excellent comfort and support for nursing.

Not sure what size the mom-to-be needs? You can also get them a gift card so they can pick out the perfect bra!

BONUS: 6- Postpartum Underwear

This one was too good not to add to this list of baby shower gift ideas! Unlike many of the postpartum underwear options on the market, our Mia Boxer Short is long-legged and high-waisted. It's the perfect gift for a new mom because it will make her postpartum journey much more comfortable... whether she has a vaginal delivery or a C-section! These boxer shorts were designed to keep bulky pads in place and reduce infection by not holding moisture. Say goodbye to hospital mesh underwear and grab a new mom in your life this great alternative!
