Breastfeeding is an important time in a baby’s development. It can also be a time of great discomfort for the mother, with endlessly sore nipples, risk of infection, and the general tiredness that comes with being a new parent.
To help you through this tough time, I’ve put together a list of breastfeeding must-haves. You can see all of these essential products on my Amazon storefront, but I’ve also highlighted a few of them below:
Boobie Bar Superfood Lactation Bars
You’ll find many products designed to promote lactation, including teas and supplements. These bars are a simpler and tastier way to get those beneficial ingredients, including moringa, oats, flaxseeds, and turmeric.
They really do taste great. I recommend Oatmeal Chocolate Chip, but the Peanut Butter bars are delicious as well.

LMNT Keto Electrolyte Powder Packets
It’s important to stay properly hydrated when breastfeeding. That means drinking plenty of water and ensuring you’re getting enough electrolytes. These sachets combine essential electrolytes in tasty and convenient sachets. I recommend Orange Salt. It might not sound like a particularly delectable flavor, but it is!

This is your time to recover, relax, and make sure you and your baby are healthy. So, forget about tight jeans and accessorizing—comfort is the way to go. This nursing nightgown is incredibly soft and cozy, and it’s designed with breastfeeding mothers in mind. If you prefer pajamas to nightgowns, check out this pajama set from the same brand.
