Feeding your baby can be one of the most rewarding—and challenging—experiences of early parenthood. Whether you're breastfeeding, pumping, or formula feeding, each journey comes with its own set of joys and hurdles. The good news? Today’s modern tools can make it easier to achieve your feeding goals, no matter what they look like.
These five “breast friends” are designed to support you through each stage of your feeding journey, offering convenience, comfort, and peace of mind. And trust me, if I had access to these when I was building my baby registry—you better believe they’d be on there! So, let’s meet them.
1. Boobcube First Drop Kit
When I was pumping and nursing, I found breast milk storage bags extremely unreliable. They were hard to put the milk in, the measurements never seemed right, and I didn't love using plastic. Luckily, another mom (among thousands!) felt the same way, and created the brilliant storage solution we’ve all been waiting for. Meet Boobcube! The Boobcube is finally here to help you get organized with your milk storage when you need it most. This compact, all-in-one system includes 100% food-grade, BPA-free silicone cubes for storing breast milk, allowing you to prep and pour with ease. The best part? You can easily freeze your milk in pre-measured 0.5, 1, and 2 oz portions, meaning you will never waste milk again. Because once it’s thawed, it can’t be re-frozen again. Literally, you will never waste a drop again.
2. Silverette Nursing Cups
Breastfeeding can be a learning curve, and discomfort or soreness is not uncommon in the early weeks, especially as your baby is figuring out how to latch properly. Silverettes, made from 100% natural silver, are tiny nursing cups designed to heal and protect sore nipples without the need for creams or ointments. Silver has natural antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and antifungal properties, making Silverettes a powerful solution for moms experiencing nipple pain. Simply slip them inside your bra between feeding sessions, and let them work their magic. “These literally saved my nipples with all three kids.” Is something I’ve heard my best friend Jessica say over and over again. And If a mom of THREE swears by these, you know they’re magic.
3. MUU Pump Pair
If pumping is part of your feeding plan, the MUU Pump Pair is the ultimate sidekick. Designed with portability and efficiency in mind, these pumps are powered by natural continuous suction, are lightweight, batterless (thank god!), and fit perfectly into your bra and onto most breasts, allowing you to pump hands-free while getting on with your day. Whether you’re working, running errands, or just trying to take a nap (we know you need one), the MUU Pump Pair makes expressing milk quiet and stress-free. Did we mention you can put them in the dishwasher? I know! So, where will you Muuve with these?
4. Bobbie Formula
Choosing to formula feed, whether exclusively or as a supplement, is just as valid a path as breastfeeding. Bobbie Formula understands that and offers an organic formula that's as close to breast milk as possible. Bobbie is known for its clean ingredients and commitment to high nutritional standards, giving parents peace of mind that their baby is getting the best. It’s an excellent option for those who can’t breastfeed or need to combo feed without compromising quality. Plus, having it on-hand just in case is such a kind thing you can do for yourself and your baby. Bobbie wasn’t available for my first daughter, but my second daughter, Zoey, was combo fed, and she was a “Bobbie Baby” for about 13 months, so it’s a product I confidently stand behind when I recommend it to families.
For a limited time, you can try their Organic Infant Formula Trial Can for 50% Off + Free Shipping—I hope you love it as much as we did!
If you’re curious about combo feeding, we hosted a webinar on Combo Feeding 101 with Mallory Whitmore, Bobbie’s resident Education Lead and Instagram’s The Formula Mom—you can watch it on demand at any time here.
5. kozēkozē Nip Gloss
Let’s face it: breastfeeding or pumping can take a toll on your nipples. Enter kozēkozē Nip Gloss, a soothing balm designed to hydrate and heal cracked, sore nipples. Its all-natural formula is safe for both mom and baby, making it a must-have in any feeding routine. My favorite thing is that this gloss comes in a tube, not a jar, keeping it extremely clean for nips. Can’t wash your hands before you apply it? No problem. Our head of social, Sandra, keeps one Nip Gloss in her diaper bag, and one in her purse—she literally doesn't leave the house without it! Tip: if you still have any left over after your feeding journey, this also doubles as a great lip gloss or cuticle balm!
Finaly feeding thoughts!
