Reddit mentions of Simple Wishes DLITE Hands Free Pumping Bra, USA Company, Comfortable, Adjustable, Supportive (Black XS-L, 1-Pack)

I went with this one, but it looks like it went up in price since I got it. Or maybe it was on sale at the time, idk. Either way at $30 that's cheaper than my cheapest sports bra.

From what I've researched, you're not really gonna find a cost effective pumping bra with too much support. So I just went for cheap on this front. It worked out just fine for me. I would recommend getting 2 because it seemed to get milk on it every time I pumped (I was always clumsy when removing the flanges), and by the end of the day it was in need of a wash.

Since you're in the club, I'll repeat what was recommended to me and turned out to be fantastic advice--- instead of a nursing bra, find yourself a supportive regular bra 3-4 weeks postpartum, and have a seamstress convert it into a nursing bra for you. I did this for 2 bras and then had several of the all stretchy material bras (I found that these Motherhood Maternity ones were the best quality for the price) for around the house and for sleeping. Having those 2 normal bras was the most amazing thing. Trust me, I tried on SO MANY "nursing" bras--even ones geared towards larger busts and none of them were anywhere near as supportive. And you will NEED it because if they feel heavy now (and I know they do!) they are going to feel so much heavier once your milk comes in. Your back will thank you!

That is exactly the set up I got from my insurance.

I got this cooler and ice pack (http://www.medelabreastfeedingus.com/products/700/breastmilk-cooler-set) for transporting to and from work. I ended up getting a second blue ice pack since I found that one didn't freeze solid overnight so now I rotate through them every other day. I also found that the extra bottles that came in the link above where helpful since on Tuesdays and Fridays I pump 4x at work instead of my normal 3x and I needed the extra bottles.

I got this cosmetic bag(http://www.target.com/p/sonia-kashuk-keep-it-organized-plaid/-/A-24014776#prodSlot=medium_2_12&term=cosmetic+bag) to store my pump parts in the fridge at work between pumps. This saved time in cleaning them after each session. So I put the parts in a ziplock, then into a bag around this size for privacy since the fridge is communal.

I got this hands free pump bra(http://www.amazon.com/Simple-Wishes-Dlite-Breast-X-Small/dp/B00HUWJ3P4/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1450896165&sr=8-7&keywords=hands+free+pump+bra) and it's magic. It is supportive enough that I am able to use my hands for other things. I have my own office, so sometimes I am able to continue working, sometimes I fuck around on reddit (now), sometime I'm paying bills, whatever. Hands down the most useful thing other than the pump itself. haha.

Definitely get a second set of parts to keep at work in case you forget anything or don't have time to wash your main set at home. I like the idea of the accessory set you linked, but I already had my own nipple cream (and by the time I returned to work I was hardly using it anymore since I'd gotten used to breastfeeding), I already had storage bags (which are cheaper to buy in bulk - I like the target brand), and same with the steam bags (I got these: http://www.target.com/p/medela-5ct-quick-clean-micro-steam-sterilizing-bags/-/A-10953413#prodSlot=medium_1_2). I do have one steam bag at work for emergencies (I've dropped pump parts on the floor >_<). I do see the accessory starter kit at Target for 1/2 the price as the Medela website, so if you do get it, go there!

I got this tote bag (http://www.target.com/p/women-s-polka-dot-canvas-tote-handbag-with-removeable-crossbody-strap-gray-merona/-/A-16634583#prodSlot=medium_3_47&term=tote+bag) to carry the milk, cooler and parts back and forth every day in addition to my personal items like keys and wallet.

I also bring a small kitchen towel to clean up any spills and wipe my nips off after pumping.

If your office does not lock, please please please make sure you have a sign - and not a subtle one. People WILL walk in on you. My office was broken into and my door broken until insurance approved a new one. At first I just had a "Do NOT Enter" sign and I was walked in on 5x. Changed it to "If this door is closed, I AM PUMPING. Do NOT enter. You will regret it! <3, Lukes Mom" and the walking in on stopped.

I pretty much leave my pump at work all the time unless I think I'll use it at home for a long weekend or something. It's heavy and I really hated carrying it back and forth.

As for how much you'll need to pump, My goal was at least 9oz since that is how much my LO eats (3oz/feeding 3x a day). Initially, I wanted to pump 4x every day but it worked out that I only needed to pump 3x to get the right amount of milk and he only ate three times while away from me. I was told the average amount of breast milk for a baby is 30oz a day. I divided that by the amount of times he eats a day and came to 3oz/feeding. That number worked out for us by chance and I haven't had to adjust. But, all babies are different so yours may want more or less.

This isn’t one you wear all day, but was a life saver for me during and after the NICU:

I wore/wear comfy nursing bras (https://www.amazon.com/Kindred-Bravely-Organic-Wireless-Maternity/dp/B01N2T2BKD/ref=asc_df_B01N2T2BKD/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=312476174137&hvpos=1o4&hvnetw=g&hvrand=14631213853410735080&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9011649&hvtargid=pla-569337622500&psc=1) and liked how I could just zippier this bandeau style one off and on over them. I exclusively pump and still love having this at home!
