Breast Pump Flange Inserts (for any pump)
I struggled with my breast pump until I ran across a resource which directed me to these universal flange inserts. This brand has a huge variety of flange inserts and is incredibly reasonably priced. Often, standard flange sizes included with breast pumps are not the right size. Taking the extra step to measure and size for the correct sized flange will help breastfeeding parents avoid pain or worse during pumping.
Not a glamorous product, but absolutely necessary. This product was my go-to when I was postpartum healing. Clean and without fillers. I felt safe taking this product (with my healthcare team’s input of course) as a breastfeeding mom.
Iron is kinda gross to ingest. You feel like a vampire and it’s not fun. This product does a great job of masking the taste and supplying birthing people with the important minerals for postpartum recovery, while avoiding constipation. I used this right before and after my baby’s delivery, under the guidance of my healthcare team’s advice.
