Feeling a little shy? Use a versatile and trendy Milk Snob Nursing Cover as a privacy shield when you’re out in public, or repurpose it to shade the stroller or the car seat. The brand releases gorgeous new patterns on the regular. $36 

Fill the back of the Baby Brezza Formula Pro Advanced with water, load any type of formula in the top, and it will “brew” a warm bottle in seconds. Do you need this? No. Would you love it? Def. $200

Go vertical with the OXO Tot Space Saving Drying Rack, which keeps nine bottles and nipples high and dry, yet uses precious little counter space. $25

Annoying but true: Your baby can nurse on only one side at a time. If the other breast leaks while waiting its turn, tuck the Fairhaven Milkies Milk-Saver collection cup into your bra to save every ounce—and to keep your shirt dry. $28

The low-tech but brilliant Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature Travel Bottle & Food Warmer is a smart way to warm milk on the go. Fill the silver thermal flask with hot water before you leave the house. At mealtime, transfer the hot water into the white flask, then pop your bottle of milk in there to warm. $15

Wear a soft Boob Design Flatter Me Singlet as a layer under any top and you’ll be able to nurse without flashing skin. $55
