Travel Essentials for Nursing Moms – NICU Edition Curated by an experienced lactation consultant, this kit includes the exact items I’ve recommended time and again to NICU moms navigating the early, emotional days of pumping at home and nursing at their baby’s bedside. Every piece is chosen with purpose—based on years of supporting families just like yours.
What’s Inside:
Full Size My Brest Friend Travel Nursing Pillow Firm and supportive, this full sized inflatable pillow with fabric cover helps lift your preemie or full-term baby up to breast level for a deeper, more effective latch. It offers the height and structure that softer pillows often lack—especially important when feeding a sleepy or fragile baby. Ideal for use in hospital chairs or on-the-go.
Soft Washable Breast Pads Gentle on sensitive skin and breathable for long wear, these reusable pads keep you dry and comfortable during long hospital days or while pumping at home. Avoid disposable breast pads if you can.
Haakaa Ladybug Milk Collector A quiet, hands-free way to collect every drop of letdown—whether you’re feeding, pumping, or in between sessions. It fits discreetly in your bra and helps ensure no milk is wasted.
Curved-Tip Orthodontic Syringes Designed for ease and precision when collecting colostrum or giving small-volume feeds. These syringes are especially helpful in the early days of NICU care, and safe for transferring milk to your storage bags and bottles.
