Pumping Mom Kitchen Essentials 🍼🩵💫
For the first two months of my baby’s life, we were exclusively pumping and bottle feeding. It wasn’t my plan but since he was so little, it was the easiest way to make sure he was eating enough at each feeding.
Whether you choose it or not, the bottle-feeding/pumping life is no small feat. I give major credit to all you mamas who have taken on this journey!!
If you’re just getting started, I promise you will settle into your rhythms and things will slowly become less overwhelming.
For me, these 5 products were MUST-HAVES and saved me so much time and some of my sanity 😂
👉🏼 BOTTLE WARMER
So helpful to be able to warm a bottle hands free! You punch in your type of container and oz. of milk and it calculates the perfect amount of time to warm up baby’s milk!
👉🏼 BOTTLE WASHER / STERILIZER
This was a little bit of a splurge purchase but man am I glad we had this thing! Wash, dry, and sterilize all in one cycle! Especially worth it if you have a little preemie and need to sterilize every day!
👉🏼 DRYING RACK
There will always be bottles and pump parts to wash and dry so having a drying rack is helpful to save space on your counter and helps speed up dry time.
👉🏼 BOTTLE BRUSH + SOAP
A bottle brush is as simple as it sounds but makes handwashing your bottles a breeeeezzzee! And don’t forget to have some gentle baby dish soap on hand!
👉🏼 WASH BASIN
This bad boy is always in my sink. Fill it with hot water and soap to throw all the baby dishes in throughout the day, and give them a good scrub and rinse at the end of the night!
Bottle-feeding moms!! What are your holy grail products??

Navigating the world of bottle-feeding and pumping can be quite challenging for new moms. Essential tools can significantly ease this process, ensuring both the mother and baby's needs are met. A bottle warmer lets you quickly warm milk without waiting around, saving precious time during late-night feeds. If you're looking for cleanliness and convenience, a bottle washer and sterilizer are lifesavers, allowing you to wash, dry, and sterilize bottles in one cycle, which is particularly important for preemies. Another vital item is a drying rack. This keeps your space organized and helps speed up the drying process for bottles and pump parts. Don’t forget a reliable bottle brush paired with gentle dish soap; this combo makes washing bottles a breeze. Finally, a wash basin in your sink is invaluable for soaking and scrubbing bottles throughout the day. Overall, equipping your kitchen with these essentials can make the bottle-feeding experience manageable and enjoyable for any pumping mom.
