I am going back to work next week, I have the medela pump in style. I don't want to look like a bag lady going into work...But i want to know how does everyone bring and store their lunch and pump parts to work? I plan on keeping my pump parts in a plastic container between pumping sessions, Any bag that can store everything I need so I won't have to carry multiple totes?
Re: Pumping at work and cooler
I bought a GIANT pretty purse at Target when I pumped. It fit my pump, a cooler bag for milk, and another small lunchbox (cooler) for keeping pump parts cold between uses so I didn't have to wash them. I also kept a snack and extra bottle caps in there. It was a tight sqeeze, but everything was in one bag!
I know it's a bit of a UO, but I don't use dirty parts. Alternately, you can probably fit everything needed in one of thier wet bags.
I am curious about this too ...
I am not back to work yet, but everytime I have traveled with my PISA, I have not worried about keeping the parts cooled ... I clean them after each pump with the medela wipes. Is that not good enough??? After I wipe them down, I just put them back in the pump bag (i have the tote) on top of the cooler that holds the bottles.
