If you’re looking for a trusted household name when it comes to all things breastfeeding, Medela is it. That means their breastmilk cooler and transport set is, of course, going to top the list. This 5-piece set comes with 4 5-oz Medela bottles, a contoured ice pack to snugly fit around the bottles, and a sleek black bag.

The Medela cooler bag has 92% 5-star reviews that rave about this bag’s lightweight, compact design and that it definitely keeps milk cold. This one’s a winner all around.

This gorgeous breastmilk storage bag comes in a variety of color patterns, so if the bright mosaic isn’t for you, check out the black and white, or gray and white, or even the berry bloom pattern—you’re sure to find one you love.

And not only did the Sarah Wells brand think about aesthetics when designing their cooler bag, but they also thought about functionality a well. This bag comes with lots of extra features, including a baby photo / ID sleeve, an adjustable and detachable handle, and an extra pocket for valves and membranes.

Reviewers say: “I appreciate all the different patterns this bag is available in. It doesn’t scream MILK BAG so it could be used as a mini lunch bag or drink cooler down the road when the kids are older.” – Taylor Dugan

One common complaint with breastmilk cooler bags is that they don’t accommodate larger bottles. Well, meet the Momcozy! This one solves that problem with a removable middle layer that allows for bottles with more height. (And bonus, this bag doubles as a wine cooler for special MNO events, so it’s a multi-tasker—just like us!)

The Momcozy has a detachable buckle that makes hanging it on your stroller super convenient, and it works perfectly to store all types of bottle brands, including  Comotomo, Philips, Evenflo, Dr. Brown, Tommee, Lansino and Nuk.

Moms rave about this bag and love to store all sorts of things in the top compartment and side pockets, including pump parts or even an extra diaper and wipes, as well as their phone and keys when they hop out of the car.

Perfect for a mom who only needs to transport a couple bottles, the Skip Hop Grab & Go bag comes in three different colors, has an interior mesh pocket, and a two-way zipper so you can access one or both bottles if need be.

Reviewers say this choice is on the smaller side, so if you need to transport multiple bottles, it might not be the best choice. However, the Skip Hop Grab & Go is said to work great for wider bottles and looks stylish for the trendy mom-on-the-go.

The Itzy Ritzy Chill Like a Boss bottle bag is… well, look at it. Have you ever seen a trendier bag to carry breastmilk in? With enough space for three tall bottles plus snacks, this bag will have everyone asking you where you got it and will absolutely increase your cool mom status as you chill like the boss that you are. (And it comes in nine different colors and designs, so if this coffee and cream style isn’t for you, maybe blush floral or monarch will be!)

One reviewer says this bag is “By far my favorite Itzy purchase and I wish I hadn’t waited. It’s so much cuter than the pictures.” – Erica

Looking for a breastmilk cooler bag but want to ditch the separate ice / gel packs? PackIt has what you’re looking for. This bag gets flattened down and tossed directly into your freezer when you get home because the freezable gel is built right into the walls of the bag. Designed by moms who get it, this PackIt bag holds four bottles and has a clear pouch on the front for your child’s name and the date. The easy to wipe clean polka dot fabric is an added bonus too.

Reviewers say: “Buy this! Perfect for travel and pumping on the go. Keeps my milk frozen for travel and keeps my express milk nice and cool til I get home. It keeps frozen and cool for 7+ hrs. Great size and easy to clean!” – Lilith and Colton Pike

Need more space? How about a bag that can double as a both a lunchbox and hold up to six (yes, SIX) bottles? Or one that can house your pump parts in one section and your bottles full of liquid gold in another? Because that’s exactly what the MOMIGO breast pump bag backpack and cooler can do.

One review raves about how much this bag has helped her, as a breastfeeding/pumping mom, when she has to travel: “I’ve taken this sucker through a dozen different airports (the bag fits upright under most airplane seats, which is important after I had one storage cup leak), had to leave it in a car on a hundred degree day for over an hour, had to keep it in a corner of someone’s office for an entire day, and had to go two days without access to a freezer to chill the milk and refreeze my ice pack overnight. Through all of these, if I have a solidly frozen ice pack at the beginning, the milk has stayed cool.” – Squirrelyone

Obviously, if you’re going to invest in a cooler with this price tag, you’re going to want to get a lot of mileage out of it. Thankfully, it’s a YETI, so you will. This cooler will fit all the breastmilk you can possibly pack and then some. Great for travel, and for repurposing as a wine cooler (yes please), the YETI Roadie will be with you for years to come and can be used to transport all sorts of liquids (and solids) that you’ll need to keep cold.

Or, how about ditching the bag altogether and just pumping right into a bottle that keeps your breastmilk cold for 20+ hours? The Ceres Chill Breastmilk Chiller is compatible with all major breast pump brands and can hold up to 34 oz of breastmilk.

And the reviews are in! Moms are loving this unique twist on breastmilk storage. One reviewer says: “I bought the Ceres Chill to have an easy breast milk storage option when going back to work as a nurse. It has made storing breast milk while away from home so easy. I love it so much that I’m considering buying a second one! I work 10 hours days and oftentimes need more storage.” – K.D.

The FlexiFreeze pocketbook cooler is a wallet-sized cooler with 16 cubes of pure water built right into it to ensure that whatever milk you store in this handle little satchel will stay cold. The FlexiFreeze pocketbook conveniently holds up to two mini-hospital sized bottles of breastmilk or several bags of breastmilk, so you can pump, store, and feed your baby with ease.

One review says: “Perfect for flying / traveling! Kept my fresh breastmilk cold for entire travel day. Held 4, 4 ounce bags. Exactly what I needed!”- Tasha Davis

And other reviews mention how convenient this cooler is for quick trips out of the house when you might need to pump and want to keep and safely store your milk until you get home.

This is the first journal I purchased after giving birth—and it has truly been an anchor within my first year of being a mom. Even now that my child is nearing the age of two, the reflections in this journal still do so much to ground me in my motherhood journey. The depth and intimacy of the questions really beckon you to get vulnerable with a lot of often unspoken topics in motherhood—from reflecting on your labor and delivery to addressing the changes within your marriage to thinking about how your parenting style differs from how you were parented. One thing I absolutely love is that this journal provides self-care check-ins, nourishment tips and even healthy recipes at the end of every section.

This guided journal is perfect for those busier moms who have so much on their plate, yet still want to carve out a few minutes for themselves. What I absolutely love about this journal is how quick and easy (yet still effective) it is. It sits on my nightstand, and a mere five minutes at the end of each day is enough to reflect on how the day went and set intentions for the next day. The prompts are the same for each day—having you reflect on how you felt, ways you made time for yourself, what you’re grateful for and how you plan to be intentional moving forward.

Though this journal isn’t specifically curated toward motherhood, it’s still a very effective journal for mamas to reflect on what they’re grateful for—which is an important thing for moms, especially when we get lost in the overwhelming chaos that often accompanies being a parent. With daily affirmations and space to reframe negative thoughts into positive ones, this journal can help to serve as a reminder that even in the midst of everything we may have going on, there is so much to be grateful for.

This postpartum journal was created with a group of certified therapists. Its purpose is to help women navigate their transitions of adding another being into their families. With prompts, therapy tips and postpartum resources, this guided journal offers a lot to help mothers along the way.

Not only are the illustrations in this postpartum journal a beautiful reminder of the motherhood experience, but the sections and thought-provoking questions really delve into the depths of how becoming a mom transforms you. From discussing the need for a “MotherNest” (a space for the mama to become) to reflecting on the moment that you feel you were birthed as a mother, this journal will take you to the innermost makings of your thoughts and emotions. And sometimes, that’s just what us mamas need.

Throughout the day, you can expect your bottle-fed baby to go through about four to six bottles, which can create quite the task when you need to sanitize them in addition to cleaning them. Make the task easier by popping all the bottles, bottle parts and even pacifiers into this countertop sterilizer that works in less than 10 minutes.

The No. 1 product that can make a pumping mama’s life easier? A pump that can keep up with your busy, on-the-go lifestyle. With multiple lactation and expression modes and gentle breast shields, this double pump is made to work for you—no matter your milk flow or breast shape. At less than 2 lbs., it’s also easy to take with you. And, if you need to pause it, you can do that and then pick back up where you left off with the same timer and settings.

Compact and easy to use, this handy tool allows you to “set it and forget it” while your baby’s bottle is warming up with electric steam. You can program it for different bottle sizes and even food jars once your little one is ready for solids. Better yet, it pulls double-duty by also being able to sanitize bottles and pacifiers!

Feeding your baby is a sweet bonding experience… But with so many feeding sessions each day, it is nice when they are able to hold the bottle on their own and give you some time back. Designed for ages 6+ months, this sippy bottle is the perfect way to help them transition to using a cup and is much easier for little hands to grasp. The removable handles can even fit onto other narrow bottles and cups.

This is perhaps the essential tool for multitasking, pumping mamas. By allowing you to go hands-free while expressing milk, you truly can get more done whenever and wherever you need to pump. Designed to fit most electric pumps and available in flexible sizes, this is a great addition to your pumping toolkit.

When you’re pumping, you don’t always want (or need) the commitment of a full electric pumping session. Enter: The comfortable and effective manual pump that’s perfect for quickly expressing milk without cords and tubes. A great option to take when you’re out and about, this pump should perfectly fit inside your diaper bag.

Solly Baby wraps have a dedicated fanbase–and for good reason! (One Motherly editor even calls it her “most favorite piece of baby gear ever.”)  Made from a super lightweight and sustainable  TENCEL Modal fabric, they’re thinner than other wraps on the market and twice as soft as cotton. The breathability makes them a top choice for warm climates, though with the heat babies put off, it’s a great option anywhere, anytime.

And since it’s comprised of just one long strip of fabric, there’s no tricky sizing to calculate and it can be used by every caregiver on your roster! (It also makes it incredibly compact and easy to stuff into a diaper bag.) Note that babies can only be carried in the front, inward-facing position from 8-25 pounds.

Prices start at $69

The award-winning classic Moby is also made from a simple strip of stretchy fabric, however in this case it’s a thicker cotton. On the plus side, that allows it to be used in two different carry positions (inward front-facing and hip carry) and up to 33 pounds. Versatile baby gear that lasts? Yes please.

On the other hand, it’s quite a bit warmer for both wearer and baby. If you’re due in the summer or live in a warm climate, it may not be your top choice. It’s also quite a bit longer than other wraps which makes it tricky to tie when you’re out of the house and don’t want to drag it all over the ground. That said, it makes it easy to swap between caregivers that widely range in size. I’m a petite 5’2″ and shared with my very not petite 6’2″ partner with no problem at all.

If you’re worried that tying a wrap is too complicated, consider the Líllé Baby Dragonfly. The easy-to-use design is made from two pieces of fabric–one piece with two panels of fabric that pass over the shoulders diagonally across the body like a shirt and a second separate piece of fabric that’s tied horizontally around both caregiver and baby. Since the main piece is pre-threaded through the back, it’s easy to adjust and tighten without assistance.

The all-natural Supima Cotton and Modal blend fabric is soft and stretchy, and like the other wraps it’s made in just one size that can easily be shared. It’s designed for inward front-facing only and can be used up to 30 pounds.

As the temps drop, we’re all about the lived-in coziness of this vintage inspired style. It’s lighter weight as far as sweatshirts go which is nice for mamas who run hot as well.

An everyday staple that checks all the boxes is the V-Neck Nursing Tee 2.0 from Latched Mama. The tee is cut longer in the back, providing enough booty coverage to comfortably rock it with leggings while the layered design offers discreet nursing access. When you fall in love with it, you can scoop up another in one of the gorgeous bold hues. (We also love that it’s available in sizes up to 3X)

Jeans and a white tee are always in style–even when your boobs are like a 24/7 diner. Elevate the look with the aptly named Luxe Nursing Tee from Hatch. Not only is the cut impeccable (as always!) but it’s made from a ridiculously soft Pima cotton that pampers your skin and that hungry bundle’s.

This classic style makes nursing a total cinch. A simple pull to the side and you’re good to go. It’s cozy enough for lounging, pulled together enough for wearing out and can even absorb the occasional leak.

Seraphine is sure to elevate your pregnancy and postpartum style with anything from their beautiful collection. One thing we can’t get enough of? The oh-so-adorbs matching sets for mamas and their minis! Choose from a subtle go-with-everything leopard print or two sweet heart prints–one nursing friendly side button sweater for you and a mini version in size 3-6 months for them. (Price is for both)

We can never resist a great collab! This genius hoodie from Magnetic Me (makers of the most brilliant onesies ever) and Motherhood Maternity is not only stylish, but features concealed magnets in the side to provide one-handed nursing access. (Plus, we can never resist those thumb holes.)

Nursing clothes that don’t look like nursing clothes? Yes PLEASE. We’re totally crushing on this super cute sweatshirt that we’d wear even when we aren’t nursing. The colorway is neutral without being boring and the nursing access is provided via a discreet side zip that adds convenience without bulk.

A tee shirt, but make it sophisticated. With sweet details like a drop shoulder and 3/4 puff sleeve in a delicious organic cotton, the Shirt Blouse from Boob Design looks as good as it feels.

When it comes to affordable wardrobe basics, H & M is always a reliable option. Cover your bases with this 2-pack of organic cotton tees that you’ll reach for over and over.

Slay, lift, feed. This functional basic is a nursing mama’s must-have.

A brand favorite, the Everyday Nursing & Maternity T-Shirt from Kindred Bravely are beloved for their softness and style. The viscose fabric is silky smooth against the skin and the hidden under layer makes it easy to nurse without tos much fuss. The patch pocket is a nice visual detail and super handy for stashing a paci when your hands are full. (Aren’t they always?)

The transition from pregnancy to motherhood can be a difficult one. Loyal Hana (“hana” being the Korean word for “one”) was launched by fashion industry alum Shelley Suh in 2014 with the mission of creating clothing that would make pregnant and nursing people feel confident, capable and beautiful. Mission, fulfilled, obviously. The effortless style of this maternity and nursing top makes a case for stripes we can’t deny. It’s perfect with black cigarette pants, jeans of all walks and even leggings.

Affordable, lightweight and available in a ton of colors and patterns, this top-rated Amazon pick has your weekend wardrobe on lock.

The soft and stretchy tank from Isabel Maternity by Ingrid & Isabel is a must-have for those warmer days but also makes a great layer for mamas who run hot. The drapey style looks fab under your favorite cardigan while the cross panel keeps your belly covered when you need to nurse.

This simple tee from Mori is anything but basic. Made from a lovely organic cotton that’s super soft and just the right thickness, it’s got a relaxed fit that pairs perfectly from everything from leggings to jeans. The front flap conceals a vertical opening in the middle for easy nursing access that doesn’t sacrifice modesty.

This super soft trio comes highly recommended by mamas for their comfort and durability. Made from a stretchy, silky nylon that’s described by one reviewer as a “more forgiving version of Spanx,” they hold up to months of regular washing. The clip-down design features convertible straps that can be worn criss-cross or over the shoulders and adjusted to fit. Additionally, the unlined shelf bra offers just enough support and easily accommodates nursing pads to soak up leaks.

From their stylish nursing swimsuits to their cozy postpartum undies, the experts at Kindred Bravely know a thing or two about postpartum needs, so it’s no surprise their Simply Sublime Maternity & Nursing Tank is a favorite among mamas. The smooth, extra-long hip length cut offers plenty of coverage and features a built-in bra with removable padding that is perfect under everything from sweatshirts to dresses. Ruching at the center helps quell the uniboob, and it’s available in both regular and busty sizes from S-XXL.

The newest piece in Storq’s line up of curated essentials, the Soft Touch Nursing Tank is the perfect blend of style and utility. It’s made from a luxe and smooth modal spandex jersey that provides plenty of stretch and support all while being polished enough to layer under cardigans or button downs. The hemline is just long enough to keep your postpartum belly under wraps but not so extra that it makes a bulge when you tuck it in. (This one doesn’t double as a maternity tank!) Currently it’s available in five neutral colors (black, blush, cafe, cocoa and fog) along with a fun leopard print which all pair perfectly with their cozy rib pants.

We’ve long trusted Knix to keep us confident and leak-free throughout that time of the month, so falling in love with their Leakproof Nursing Tank was easy. Made from their sleek signature fabric it comes equipped with removable pads that leverage their leakproof technology to catch an impressive amount of milk. (No more worrying you’ll have two bullseyes on your shirt before that meeting-that-could-have-been-an-email ends.) It’s wireless, the clips are easy to operate one-handed and comes in sizes that fit sizes 32A-42G.

From the second you’re rocking a bump until you’re nursing a real live babe, this simple cami is going to be an everyday staple. It’s super soft and stretchy with a generous length that can easily be tucked in for extra security. We love the suble v-shaped neckline which makes it feel a little more interesting under cozy cardis.

With a crisscross front and lack of shelf bra, these wireless camis are ideal for sleeping. Simply slide it to the side and get to business! For one thing, no one needs to fiddle with clips while half asleep (not to mention the discomfort of having them dig in when you roll over) but the looser fit is clutch as well. There’s a built-in pouch to hold nursing pads and since they’re made from cotton they’re breathable and lightweight enough for hot sleepers.

A wardrobe staple you’ll want to snatch up in every color! Motherhood Maternity’s popular Clip Down Nursing Cami is one you’ll reach for night and day as a layering piece or on its own. The simple style is soft and comfortable without being to squeezy and made from a knit jersey that’s soft and cozy. (This style is available in plus sizes as well!)

If nursing has upped your core temps to that of say, the surface of the sun, you’ll appreciate an option that allows you to shed layers and still feel dressed. (Something that can’t necessarily be said for traditional cami styles.) This two-tiered design features a front panel that lifts to provide easy access and looks stylish enough to wear on its own.

With its full built-in nursing bra and adjustable elastic chest band that accommodates fluctuating size, Glamourmom’s Full Bust Long Top is a favorite among mamas with larger busts. (Size goes up to 44-48 G/I) The center ruching helps eliminate the boob-tube look (bless!) and the fuller cut keeps it from rolling up. 

If you’re looking for the coverage of tank but love your nursing bra too much (or can’t stand doubling up), this innovative design from Undercover Mama is exactly what you’ve been looking for. The strapless tank easily attaches to any nursing bra giving you the best of both worlds. No uncomfortable extra layers or a collection of straps perched on your shoulders. Win win!

Mama-owned and founded, Anook Athletics knows exactly what pregnant (and trying-to-conceive) mamas need at every stage of pregnancy and beyond. Their Maternity and Nursing Sports Tank Top will take you from pre-conception all the way through—and past—the fourth trimester. The nursing tank top features a built-in bra, easy clips for nursing access, sewn-in bra pads that never move around, and a super soft and forgiving fabric that will adapt to your body as it changes. We love this tank for its versatility (go from nursing session to walk), quality (their products have lasted us through two pregnancies) and comfort.

Cozy enough to sleep in, chic enough for jaunts out of the house, the super soft Always On Nursing Tank from Bodily is designed with a lactation consultant for round-the-clock wear. It’s got a square neckline which provides coverage without constriction and the built-in bra gives just enough support. Drop in your favorite nursing pads and you’re ready for whatever the day brings!

A top that multitasks as hard as you do? No problem. Storq’s aptly named Everyday Pumping & Nursing Tank is the only top you need for nursing and pumping. The soft and stretchy fabric easily pulls aside for breastfeeding and when it’s time to pump, all you need to do is un-clip! Horizontal openings accommodate a range of flange sizes and saves you from the hassle of a full costume change every time. Even better, it looks great under a cardigan or blazer. Who says nursing wear has to look like it?

Congratulations, you are a mama! This course will help you navigate the first few weeks of parenthood as you adjust to a brand new life (with baby in tow!)

An ideal style to pack in your hospital bag, the button front nightgown from Target’s Stars Above is comfy, affordable and super cute! It’s made from a soft cotton/modal fabric and short enough that it doesn’t get tangled in your sheets. Add a pair of pj pants if you’re chilly or just rock it solo.

If you thought it was impossible to feel comfy but also be willing to accept visitors without having to change, think again.The loose fitting and versatile 24/7 Feeding Jumpsuit from Hatch is perfectly flowy so you don’t feel restricted—which is the last thing you’ll want while nursing. The best part is that it’s made to support you before, during, and after your pregnancy, so you can use it year after year while you grow your family.

Stretchy and soft, Baby Mori’s sustainable lyocell nightgown is designed for all seasons of mamahood. The fit accommodates a growing bump and in the fourth trimester, a row of buttons provides easy access for nursing and pumping.

Nursing tanks are a 24/7 uniform in those early days. We’re particularly fond of this one because of its innovative fabric which combines cooling minerals, active wicking, and rapid drying to keep you from boiling when snuggled up to that little furnace of yours.

With an unbeatable price, undeniable comfort and inclusive sizing, it’s not hard to decipher why these Stars Above pajamas are a top-rated Target steal. Their cult-following has resulted in a growing range of colors and patterns so you can stock up and rotate. After all, they’re likely going to be splashed with lord knows what within just a few minutes anyway, right? ?

If you need a little dose of luxury in your postpartum life, Weekend Made jammies are just what the doctor ordered. The classically-styled pajamas are made from the most slinky, stretchy and comfy bamboo which keeps you at just the right temperature. A button front top provides easy boob access while the jogger bottoms feel polished instead of sloppy. Even better? They’ve got pockets to cart your essentials from room to room while your arms are likely occupied with cuteness.

Breathable, sophisticated and oh-so-cozy, this short sleeved set from the aptly named Cozy Earth is a true postpartum treat. The bamboo fabric is perfect for temperature regulating and thoughtful details like white piping, over-size drape and pockets marry fashion and function. These are the pajamas you’ll want to live in through the postpartum period and beyond.

We instantly fell in love with the brilliance of Magnetic Me’s onesies. Turns out, we can rock their innovative designs too! Instead of fumbling with tiny buttons or snaps in the middle of the night, simply pull the concealed magnets apart for instant boob access.

Postpartum life can be unpredictable (hello night sweats) and you’ll need to keep a balanced pair of pajamas on standby; the kind that will keep you comfortable with or without covers. Dagsmejan’s maternity and nursing nightdress is a lightweight, breathable and exceptionally soft sleepwear designed to keep the best temperature for sleep and beat the night sweats with its patented technology.

These maternity pjs are perfect for lounging and sleeping—basically everything you’ll do the first few months after your baby is born. The pants are bump-friendly, which is perfect when your belly is still larger than usual post birth. Buy your pre-pregnancy size, but if in doubt, size up as cotton shrinks.

For a soft, comfortable pajama set, look no further than Ekouaer. For starters, the adjustable elastic waistband gives you the perfect fit during every stage of your pregnancy and beyond. Also nice? The elastic side-ruched gives tons of space for your growing belly and the side opening provides easy access for nursing. Oh, yes, and the 95% rayon, 5% spandex blend is super silky-soft.

100% organic and totally plant-powered, The Balm from Ingrid + Isabel is made with mama and babe’s needs in mind. The five-ingredient formula is lanolin-free to soften and soothe nips, lips and any other bit of skin that needs a little TLC. This is one you’re going to want to keep in your bag, on your nightstand, by your couch, in your pocket…(You get the point.)

When you’ve got a tight and itchy still growing belly, there’s nothing like the sweet relief of a nourishing belly oil. The Oil from Ingrid + Isabel power packs just seven all-natural ingredients to moisturize and soothe your bump while helping prevent stretch marks: Rich apricot kernel to hydrate, organic marshmallow root and calendula flower to soften and calm skin, chamomile flower to tackle itchiness, organic rose hips and lavender to help with stretch marks. It’s finished off with a spot of luxe rose absolute to lend a light and refreshing rose scent. Whether after a shower or before bed, it’s the self care ritual you deserve, mama.
