non-included tote bag for breast pump/milk??

Hi all - so, thanks to insurance I received a free breast pump while still in the hospital after delivering my little guy - - the Ameda Purely Yours pump.  However, the box ONLY provided the pump, flanges, tubes, and included collection bottles.  It didn't come with a tote bag, ice packs, or any of the stuff you'd need to take the pump around town/to work and pump/store milk in a safe way with a cooling system, insulated compartment, etc.  Its a little frustrating - I wish that the option had been presented to me to contribute a small co-pay towards getting the bag and stuff, b/c I totally would have spent for it.  Oh well.

 

So - I'm wondering if anyone here can recommend a brand/vendor (preferably online) to buy a tote bag for my breast pump and pumped milk?  I'd really prefer one that has insulated compartments and/or included cooler packs to keep the milk safe after pumping.  Bonus if you happen to know of one available on Amazon Prime.  I've searched Amazon and found a few, but wondering if anyone here has personal experience/recommendations.  Thanks in advance!

Re: non-included tote bag for breast pump/milk??

  • Cooler bags and or totes for storing breast milk are no different than any other insulated totes or lunch bags and ice packs. I would suggest finding one you like and going with it. I would suggest one that zips closed instead of one that would use velcro but I am just a fan of zippers over velcro in most cases for anything so I may be biased.

  • Please check out our line of stylish breast pump bags at www.nursepurse.com (and yes, it is also on Amazon prime!) There is room for any standard cooler or lunch bag in addition to your pump, accessories - even room for a laptop. I created this bag when I couldn't find a good solution to bring my pump to work.. good luck!
