Express Yourself
With these genius products, pumping at work is about to get a whole lot easier. To maximize output, guzzle water and pump every three hours, massaging your breasts from the armpits forward. You can also look at baby photos (upload a computer slideshow) and smell last night's sweetly scented onesie.

- Portable Pump
- Medela
The Freestyle double pump fits in your palm, has a powerful rechargeable battery (a godsend in an airplane bathroom when you're 11th in line for takeoff), and weighs less than a pound.
$380, Medela, for retailers.
- Back Savers
- Super Shields Plus
Sit more comfortably with Super Shields Plus. They angle downward, so you don't have to hunch over. And rather than scrubbing in the office pantry after each session, invest in multiple shields (and bottles) so you can wash them at home.
$13 for two, Pumpin' Pal.
- Powerful Pills
- Motherlove supplements
Fenugreek, blessed thistle, fennel, and nettle leaf increase milk supply. Milk Plus supplements contain all four.
$24 for 60, Motherlove, Amazon.
- Bra Brilliance
- The Easy Expression Bra
The Easy Expression nursing bustier lets you pump hands-free, and its front zipper saves you from taking your shirt on and off.
$35, Baby Center.
