Pump Accessory Gifts for Valentine’s Day

Dads, husbands, partners: this one’s for you. We told her to forward this to you.

Because here’s the thing—breast pumping is really hard work. It might not look like it’s that difficult from your vantage point. No doubt the rockstar-mama-of-your-babe has gotten the hang of this. She probably has a routine and makes it look easy. You rarely hear her complain…anymore…or only when she’s really tired after a super long day.

But we’re here to tell it like it is so that you can best understand and support the lady of your life. And the simple truth is that breast pumping is physically, mentally, and emotionally exhausting. Her body is the main source of nutrition for your little one and that often leads to exhaustion. Motivated to do everything in her power for the well-being of your child, it’s also very common for breast pumping moms to feel disconnected from themselves and their sensual natures.

It’s your job to remind your partner how naturally beautiful she on a daily basis. It’s your responsibility to cheerlead her every effort in nurturing your child. And on Valentine’s Day, it’s your pleasure to let her know that you’re along for the journey and eager to make—at least—one day in February all about her.

Packing for a Winter Get Away?

You deserve a vacation!

You have earned the right to sit on a Caribbean beach in the deliciously warm sun and just be. You merit every second at an amazing spa with a butler and a personal masseur and a private (5 star) chef. You should be on a yacht headed for the Riviera with the rest of this world’s most beautiful people.

Okay, maybe we overshot that one a bit. But a girl can dream, can’t she?! At the very least, you deserve a vacation. You’re a breast-pumping mama, after all.

After you book this most deserved vacation, it’s time to consider packing. So you have one less thing for your concern and coordination, we offer you a list of items you will need as a sun-bathing, spa-going, yachting-lounging, breast-pumping vacationer. 

Holiday Wish List

Four calling birds, three French hens, two turtle doves…and a full peaceful night of good sleep.

Beyond that, what could you possibly wish for this holiday season, Mama? Well, in case your under-slept, overly-taxed mommy brain is drawing a blank, let us make a few recommendations of items to help you as you pump, feed, and mother your way into the new year.

Breast Shells

Breast shells are soft, plastic, cup-shaped devices worn to protect irritated nipples or pull out inverted nipples.

Breast shells are worn inside your bra, just against the breast, between or before nursing or pumping sessions.

This device is quite simple. It’s comprised of two parts: a back with a small, circle opening and a rounded front case.

Breast shells that protect irritated nipples have a (comparatively) larger circle opening. The purpose of these shells is to safeguard nipples so sore it’s painful to have them in contact with even the softest of bras.

What Should You Know About Breast Pump Accessories?

When you first start researching breast pumps it might seem that the amount of information is overwhelming and any mention of accessories is moot.  And while you might not care at the outset about breast pump accessories, supporting products, or product accessibility, this information will eventually become relevant.

Why?

Breast pumping is a different for every woman and the challenges you might face and the support you require will be individual. Because of that, as you choose your breast pump, it’s at least important to know that accessories are available that might ease your breast pumping experience down the road.
