Milkies

We bought all the things they say you need for a baby. But, some of the things that have become the most invaluable have been quite surprising. So, every once in a while, I might do a little product endorsement ;) Obviously not paid or reimbursed for in any way, LOL.

Milkies Milk Savers are these little things that you stick inside your bra on the side you are not nursing on to catch the milk you leak.

I purchased mine on amazon. It took me about 3 weeks to finally get around to trying them out. I wish I hadn't wasted all that time and milk! In one feeding session, I have gotten up to 1.5oz of milk that would have just been thrown away in a nursing pad! My first session, I got over an ounce and was ecstatic. 

I only use it one feeding session in the morning when I am the most full/ leak the most. At this point, I am only pumping once a day to build up a small stash. So, I feed on one side, using milkie on the other. Then, I nurse on the side that had the milkie. I get a full bottle every morning. Honestly, the milkie milk saver catches almost as much as I am pumping! 

UPDATE: I got 2.25 oz!!!
