The best breast pumps and breastfeeding accessories, according to Ovia parents.
What are the Ovia Family Awards?
Each year, we ask Ovia parents to vote for their favorite family products, including the breastfeeding accessories that make the experience just a little easier: from the best wearable pump to nipple cream that soothes chafed skin.
This year, we collected 40,000 votes and thousands of thoughtful recommendations from parents to find the best-of-the-best, tried-and-true products worthy of an Ovia Family Award. When you see the Ovia Family Award seal, you know the product you’re buying was selected by parents who’ve used it, trust it, and can genuinely recommend it to other families.

Best Electric Pump: Spectra Electric Breast Pump
When it comes to finding the right electric breast pump for you — 1,600+ Ovia parents want to help. They voted and the Spectra Electric Breast Pump came out on top. They love the Spectra for its easy assembly, versatility, and quiet pumping.
Here’s what Ovia parents are saying
“The parts were easy to clean and put together. It also came with a nightlight and two bottles to pump into directly. I was also able to pump into Avent type bottles too. It was also covered by my insurance so that was great.”
“Love how it’s high suction and a closed system (no milk can flow back into the unit).”
“Very easy to set up and understand directions of use. It’s very quiet when in use. Can order separate/different flange sizes as well. Comes with extra parts.”

“I use the Haakaa every time I feed my baby. It’s just sits easily on the other breast and collects the let down. Hands down the easiest to use and clean.”
“The Haakaa is a game changer…affordable, durable and will help build a good back stock of milk. It’s so simple to use and doesn’t let anything go to waste.”

Best nipple cream: Lansinoh Lanolin Nipple Cream
“Ingredients listed made me feel confident that it was something that my child could ingest being new to this world and it wouldn’t have any adverse effects on his health or well-being. And he wouldn’t reject the breast because of the taste.”
“Lanolin! Get the Lansinoh lanolin, it was a game changer for my chafed and chapped nipples. No other lanolin worked for me and they’re not all made equal. A friend suggested it when I was suffering and it turned the experience around to have something soothing that actually protected me from my newborn’s latch which hadn’t figured itself out yet!”
“It went on smoothly and helped a lot when I was cracked and tender from breastfeeding so much.”
Best nursing pads: Lansinoh Stay Dry Nursing Pads
“These are soft on sore nipples and keep your shirts/bras dry a must in the early days of breastfeeding.”
“I found the Lansinoh nursing pads to be lightweight and very absorbent.”
“They are convenient and comfortable, they absorb a lot more than you’d expect.”
Give your breasts some love and shop Lansinoh’s nipple cream and nursing pads.
