Bottle cleaning brush silicone is best The Haakka Manual Breast Pump for collecting "let down" This is another one of those "negotiable items. I was able to feed Isla on one breast and suction the Haakka onto the other to collect "let down" milk so it didn't go to waste or drip everywhere.

Nursing pillow If you're looking for a quality nursing pillow that can be used for so much more than just feedings, the Blessed Nest Nursing Pillow is it! Throughout my entire pregnancy I used this pillow for back and belly support. Upon Isla's arrival, I used it while nursing, for tummy time and eventually to help her learn to sit upright.
The filling inside of this pillow is what makes it so versatile. Even to this day, I still use it for back support. Unlike the Boppy which I've heard from fellow mommas is rigid and flattens out quickly , this pillow can be used WELL past your baby's infant stage.
