Some Things NOT to Say to a Nursing Mom

Our son is 11 months old and of course is still breastfeeding and will until June or so, when I will start giving him a sippy with the freezer "stash" of my milk and when that 128 oz is gone, then he will get whole milk. By then, he will be 14 months or so when he weans if all goes well.

Baby Event 2015: Medela Breastfeeding Products

*Disclaimer - I received the products in this post from the popular company Medela in order to facilitate this review for my readers.

Medela has some awesome breastfeeding products, so it was hard to decide on which ones I'd need most.


I am due in June with my third child and my Medicaid is fully covering a Medela Pump In Style (double electric) Starter Kit for me shortly following delivery. I wanted to see about being able to review some other breastfeeding products that would be good to have while pumping / nursing. I've always heard that Medela is the best brand for breastfeeding products! 

I am going to be pumping during the day as well as nursing him, to have milk to freeze to use for bottles at night so that my husband can help rotate feedings as he chooses to. I had previously bought some of the bottles for freezing, so these will definitely get used quite a bit. 

The breastmilk feeding gift set can be found HERE and includes: three 5 oz bottles, nipples, collars, and caps, 20 pump and save bags, and six 2.7 oz mini bottles with lids.

The disposable nursing pads can be found HERE and I received 2 boxes of these, which include 30 count in each box.

The pump and save bags can be found HERE and I received 3 boxes of these, which include 20 count in each box.

Here's the products that I received:
- Breastmilk feeding gift set - bottles with lids (2 types) and nipples, and milk bags
- Disposable nursing pads - 2 boxes with 30 count
- Pump and save breastmilk bags - 3 boxes of 20 count
