Breast pumps have multiple parts that can sometimes wear out or mysteriously disappear. That's where extra pump parts come to the rescue. Including these in your breast pump bag ensures that your pumping sessions won't be disrupted.

Think about it: you're in the middle of an important work meeting, and suddenly, a valve or membrane gives out. Without those small yet critical components, your pump is rendered useless.

Now, while our pumping bras are built for all-day wear, we know that wearing a pumping bra all day isn't something everyone wants to do. No worries –throw one in your bag! When you need to pump, you can switch into your pumping bra and then switch right back out when you're done.

It's important to use a pumping bra with any pump to ensure you get the optimal results from your pumping session.

When you're out and about, storing your precious breast milk safely is a top priority. That's where the Willow Portable Milk Cooler comes into play.

A portable cleaning kit provides you with the tools you need to keep your pump in pristine condition, even when you're on the go, so you'll definitely want to add one to your breast pump bag.

It's always a good idea to carry a few extra bottles. Think about those moments when you're on a family outing, and your baby starts getting hungry. Having a bottle filled with your expressed milk in your breast pump bag means that you're ready to feed your little one anytime, anywhere. It's all about being prepared for any situation.

Staying adequately hydrated helps your body produce the liquid gold your baby needs. Plus, it's essential for your energy levels, especially when you're juggling the demands of motherhood. To make sure you're always well-hydrated, keep a refillable water bottle in your breast pump bag.
