(BPT) - Are you a new mom who is planning to nurse or pump for your bundle of joy? Whether you're pumping now or preparing to head back to work, the amount of gear to research can feel overwhelming. You're already thinking about your pump, your parts, your schedule and output — so what can make this all easier? These five picks are essentials to keep at the top of the list to make your feeding journey more enjoyable.
The experts at eufy offer these ideas to help new parents be more prepared for their new arrival, especially moms who are nursing or pumping. Some of these items may not be on your radar, so be sure to add them to your own wish list — or nab one for a friend or family member's baby shower.
Help relieve nursing strain
A good quality nursing pillow is one must-have that helps make nursing a lot easier for both mothers and babies. The pillow keeps baby at the right height for feeding, alleviating the strain on mom's neck, back and arms. It's best to experiment to see which kind of pillow works for each mom (either c-shaped or wraparound style pillows), and how to position it for optimal comfort.
Note: While these pillows are perfect for feeding, they are not safe for baby to sleep on.
A high-tech wearable breast pump
Gone are the days that you need to be tethered to a wall with a bulky pump. Thanks to the eufy line of smart parenting technology, many tasks are now more efficient and comfortable, letting parents focus on what matters most: their new little family member.
The new eufy Wearable Breast Pump S2 Pro slides right into a nursing bra offering warming massage technology. The VibraPump™ system softens tissues for more efficient emptying and clog relief, and HeatFlow™ 2.0 offers 7 adjustable heating levels (97-107F), enhancing output and comfort.
The result? The S2 Pro encourages 35% more milk output, 30% faster. In addition, the eufy app can remotely control settings, customize suction rhythms and allow access to guided meditation sessions to support relaxation. Unveiled at Anker Day 2026 (eufy's parent company's annual media event), one tech reviewer even called the S2 Pro "one of the most high-tech models I have seen to date."
Streamline parental chores
Washing baby bottles and pump accessories is one of most time-consuming tasks for parents of newborns, and often you're still stuck with hard water deposits and a questionable clean. Enter the eufy Bottle Washer S1 Pro, complete with a built-in water softener for bottles that shine every time. Plus, the S1 Pro offers the largest capacity on the market, holding up to 10 bottles to clean an entire day's feeding gear in one cycle.
eufy's proprietary 3D HydroBlast™ technology uses a triple-layer rotating spray to eliminate stubborn milk residue and the 212F true steam sterilization kills 99.99% of common germs. Fast drying is possible with the HygieniDry™ dual-fan heating system and completes 40-minute rapid drying to prevent bacteria growth — no drying rack needed. You can even use the eufy app to activate it at any time, so the cycle is done by the time you're home from work or errands. This is truly a system for ultimate bottle cleaning.
Safe overnight milk storage in the nursery
Pumping doesn't take a break — even at two in the morning. A mini fridge used exclusively for the nursery is a helpful item that can be used to store pumped milk after those late-night feedings. Breast milk needs to stay at a consistent 39°F or below to remain safe and fresh, so ensure the fridge can meet this requirement.
Bonus use: Keeping plenty of chilled drinks and snacks on hand for mom while she's nursing ensures she stays hydrated and keeps up caloric intake, supporting the production of breast milk.
Milk storage on the go
Mom is back at work and pumping like a pro! Now where to store all that liquid gold? A portable milk cooler is a more trendy and convenient way to keep milk safe than traditional ice packs and bulky lunch bags. Look for those with cooling tubes that you throw in the freezer overnight and in the morning, install inside the outer carrying container for all-day insulated cooling.
With these nursing must-haves standing by, new moms will feel much more prepared for all the life changes they're about to undergo. Find more tech-forward ideas including baby monitors and smart socks, at eufy Mom & Baby.
