Pumping and supplies at work?

  I work 7-4 and pump three times at 9, 12, and 3 (about when she eats at daycare). I pump just enough to supply her with milk for the next day.

  I bring one set of parts and have a backup set of parts at the office in case I forget them at home. I put the flanges in a ziplock and keep them in the fridge between sessions and don't wash them until I get home. The milk I pump gets stored in bottles in the insulated bag that came with my pump and I freeze the icepack each day at work.

  Good luck!

  I pump 3X at work.  I have an "emergency" set of pump horns at work (after forgetting them once that was all the encouragement I needed to do this!), and I bring one set for the day.  I pump, then pour what I got into bottles that will be for the next day.  These bottles go in a cooler in the fridge.  The pump horns go in another cooler in the fridge (no need to wash then!).  Rinse.  Repeat.  Granted, then I have about 3 coolers (including lunch) in the fridge!  But no one else really needs to put anything in the fridges at work, right?!

  When I first went back to work I pumped 3 times. I brought 4 5-oz bottles which fit in the cooler that came with my pump. I would combine the first session into one bottle. The second session into another bottle and the third session I kept in the their own bottles. I also kept extra freezer bags in my pump bag in case I pumped more then expected. I only have one set of shields and I wash them after each session.
