We all know having and raising a baby is expensive, but so many of the tons of baby supplies pushed at parents are just not necessary—and that includes accessories for nursing moms. US News rounded up several breastfeeding items that are just a waste of money.
Among them are nursing clothing, like tops or bras with special pull-down areas, as well as nursing covers. You can easily convert an old sports bra into a nursing bra yourself, the article suggests, or use a large scarf as your cover up instead of a fancy nursing cover.
Similarly, instead of buying "special" bags for freezing breast milk, regular freezer bags will do.
I have to admit, I bought into the whole nursing (and baby) accessories industry and now have a ton of useless tank tops with hidden holes in them, but you don't have to.
