10 Eco-Friendly Breastfeeding Accessories (including disposable breast milk storage bags)

It can take some extra effort to look for eco-friendly breastfeeding accessories, but the good news is that there are plenty options. Surprisingly, there are even biodegradable disposable breast milk storage bags.

10 Eco-Friendly Breastfeeding Accessories

Disposable Breast Milk Storage Bags

1. Honeysuckle Bags – Honeysuckle disposable breast milk storage bags are the only biodegradable bag on the market. I first heard about these bags from the Mothers Milk Cooperative, which is the first milk bank that pays mothers for their breast milk.

2. Lansinoh Bags – Lansinoh’s disposable breast milk storage bags are not biodegradable, but they are labeled as plastic #4. If your recycling company accepts #4 plastics, these bags may be a good choice for you.

Reusable Breast Milk Storage Containers

3. Kiddo Feedo Tray – This freezer tray with a lid gives you the option to freeze your breast milk in 2.6 oz cubes.

4. Milk Tray Sticks – These trays are specially designed so your breast milk freezes in a 1 oz stick that will easily fit into the opening of any bottle. The downside is that if you are doing a lot of pumping, you may need several trays.

5. Avent Storage Starter Set – This set comes with 10 breast milk storage containers and lids. Each container holds 6 oz of breast milk.

Nursing Pads

6. Bamboobies Nursing Pads – There are many brands that offer reusable nursing pads, but these pads made in the USA are really popular.

7. DIY Nursing Pads – Follow this simple tutorial to make your own nursing pads.

Nursing Covers & Pillows

8. Organic Nursing Cover – This cute cover is made with 100% organic cotton.

9. DIY Nursing Cover – If you have some basic sewing skills, you can follow this tutorial at Breastfeeding Place to make your own nursing cover.

10. Organic Nursing Pillow – This Boppy nursing pillow comes with an organic slipcover. The downside is that the pillow isn’t organic. Only the cover is made from organic cotton. Check out this list for more nursing pillow ideas.

It is wonderful if you are able to use some eco-friendly accessories while you are breastfeeding, but please have grace with yourself. Welcoming a new baby into your family is lovely, but stressful. Now is not the time to strive for perfection.
