I love my MILKIES!




OK so every nursing new mom need to run out & buy MILKIES!



While I was pregnant I came across these & now it is my new best friend . I was super skeptical (and thought it was a little pricy for a piece of plastic) but I had such a hard time breastfeeding my first child that I was willing to try anything this time around- I was determined to breastfeed this little one.  Let me just tell you how cool this is- while you are feeding on one side you put the "milkie" in the other side & it catches all the "leakage". The first time I used it I was not expecting anything actually planning in my mind to return it... but I went on & gave it a try, pulled it off & OMG! The thing was almost full. In two days I was able to freeze a tray of breastmilk from my "leakage". Milk that would have been absorbed in clothing & pads can now be saved for my baby to eat. GENIUS, I tell ya! Any nursing mom knows how many hours & hard work goes into breastfeeding, any way I can save I'm all for it!


My collection from day #1
 sorry if this grosses some of you out. I am just beyond amazed but this little invention.

PS: I got mine from cotton babies (around $30) or you can order from their website https://www.mymilkies.com
