Pump In Style Advanced BreastpumpPump In Style Advanced Breastpump
Buy new: $390.00
This is the gold standard for a pump. I have not used the "Advanced" model because it was not out when I bought my PIS original, which I love. I have heard nothing but really great things about this new model and it has a few more bells and whistles.
My Brest Friend Light Green Deluxe PillowMy Brest Friend Light Green Deluxe Pillow
Buy new: $44.99
This is hands down the best breastfeeding pillow. It comes highly recommended by lactation consultants. I found this one to be the most comfortable and it really positioned the baby properly. It wraps snug around your waist, too.

I really love these nursing pads. I have tried many brands and I love these. They are comfortable, absorbant and best of all they do not show through your shirt. I highly recommend these.
Lansinoh Lanolin for Nursing Mothers - 2 oz TubeLansinoh Lanolin for Nursing Mothers - 2 oz Tube
Buy new: $9.50
This stuff heals so fast. This tube should last you until weaning because a very little amount goes a very long way. This is THE nipple cream to buy - it really got me through in the early days.

Buy new: $20.99
They hold up nicely in the freezer and you can write how many ounces are in the bag and your baby's name on the bag too. I really like these bags alot. These are so nice - I have been burned by other brands that leak and spill so I always stick with these.
Natural Nipple ButterNatural Nipple Butter
Buy new: $11.95
This is great nipple cream. It is all natural and smells really good. It also heals sore skin up very quickly. It is my second pick for nipple cream or if you happen to want a cream that is not as heavy as the Lansinoh. This is much lighter.
Booby TubesBooby Tubes
Buy new: $19.95
These are great for when you are engorged or if you deal with issues like mastitis or plugged ducts. You just pop them in the microwave and apply. I have also used these as the mini heating pads at times. They are also perfect for your little ones aches and pains after you are done nursing. They are a great size for little hands to hold and apply to tummy aches and bumps and bruises.
Milkmaid Tea - 4ozMilkmaid Tea - 4oz
Buy new: $12.00
I LOVE this tea. This boosts your milk supply all naturally. It tastes great and really works. I have listed an alternative below if you just can't stomach tea. This tea is loose so you will need a strainer.
NONE BREAST FEED MEDELA MCRSTM BAGS 5CT - NO SIZENONE BREAST FEED MEDELA MCRSTM BAGS 5CT - NO SIZE

These are great and hassle free. These sterilize all of your pump parts and bottles with a few ounces of water and a microwave. I highly recommend them.
Bebe au Lait Nursing Shawl ChocolateBebe au Lait Nursing Shawl Chocolate
Buy new: $35.00
I really like this nursing cover a lot. I bought this when I was pregnant with my fourth child. Before that, I used burp cloths and blankets to cover up while nursing in public. This definitely takes the stress out of nursing in public. I wish I had this one sooner. It comes in so many great patterns.

These milk supply boosting capsules are a great alternative for you if you don't drink tea or simply don't have the time or don't feel like brewing tea. They work well too.
Eve Alexander Maternity Nursing Bra - PinkEve Alexander Maternity Nursing Bra - Pink
Buy new: $34.00
This is such a nice bra for when you just want to feel pretty. It fits really well and is very comfortable and it has pretty pink flowers on it. It also washes and wears so well. Every time I wash it, it looks brand new again - which I can't always say for the rest of my bras.
