Breastfeeding essentials include far more than a nursing pillow. Depending on your daily routine, they may include breast pads, a nursing cover, a suitable nursing chair, baby and maternal care products, as well as practical changing and breastfeeding accessories. Carers, doctors and medical students also often look for additional care equipment, such as a stethoscope for nurses.
To avoid unnecessary spending, it is worth looking at the actual product features rather than relying on vague marketing claims.
“Ergonomic” or “especially comfortable” does not tell you much on its own. Look for specific, verifiable details such as dimensions, padding, cover fabric, seat height and adjustable fastening. For a nursing pillow, it should also be clear whether the cover is removable and washable.
Disposable breast pads or Nursing Pads are often promoted as having an especially thin design. However, absorbency, adhesive strips, fit, individual packaging and the material in contact with the skin are also important when choosing. A very thin pad may be practical when you are out and about, but it must suit your individual milk flow and changing routine.
A nursing cover can offer more privacy while breastfeeding and later serve as sun protection or a lightweight blanket. Nevertheless, it must not obstruct the baby’s breathing. A nursing pillow is also, according to the relevant manufacturer’s product description, not intended for unsupervised sleep. Accessories should therefore always be used in accordance with their instructions.
Material information is particularly important for products that come into direct contact with the skin. A removable cover makes care easier. According to the product description, the cover of the Momcozy pillow is made from 100% cotton and is removable, while the inner pillow should only be spot-cleaned. For a nursing cover, machine washing at 40 °C can simplify everyday care, provided this is confirmed on the care label.
Disposable breast pads should be hygienically individually wrapped and stored in a dry place. According to the product description, SEEDNUR pads are individually packaged. Regardless of the model, stop using the product if it causes skin irritation, redness or a rash, and seek medical advice where necessary to establish the cause.
A nursing chair must fit in the intended space and have a clearly stated load limit. The Ckaff rocking chair is listed as measuring 95 × 72 × 93 cm and is designed for a maximum load of 113 kg. Before buying, check the doorway width, available floor space and distance from other furniture. For a rocking chair, a stable, level surface, correctly fitted joints and floor protectors are also important.
A nursing pillow should suit your body size and preferred breastfeeding position. An adjustable waist belt can help prevent the pillow from slipping while feeding. However, it is not a substitute for directly supervising your baby.
Products for everyday care should be easy to transport and clean regularly. Cotton buds, for example, can be used for precise cosmetic applications or certain external care routines. They should not be inserted deep into the ear canal. For medical devices such as a stethoscope, the design, weight, tube flexibility and intended user group are important. A stethoscope can support observations, but it does not replace a proper examination or diagnosis.

We have put together a complete, regularly updated list of products that fully meet these strict selection criteria and the safety regulations applicable in the EU.
For many families, a nursing pillow, several breast pads, muslin cloths and an easy-to-clean place are helpful. A nursing cover can also be useful when you are out and about. The actual basics depend on how often you breastfeed, your living situation and your personal preferences.
Disposable breast pads are intended for limited use and should be changed as soon as they become damp or no longer stay securely in place. Storage, shelf life and the manufacturer’s specific instructions can be found on the packaging. Reusable pads can be washed, depending on the material, but require ongoing care.
A dedicated nursing chair can be worthwhile if you regularly breastfeed or feed your baby in one fixed place. Before ordering, check the seat height, room size, load capacity and cleaning options. In smaller rooms, an existing sturdy armchair combined with a nursing pillow may be the more space-saving solution.
