Bags | Pump | Storage Bags | Coconut Oil | Pumping Bra | Nursing Cover | Burp Rag

Last week I talked about the amazing baby/everyday bag I use daily that I am able to toss my “pump bag” in and wanted to share what I stash in said pump bag!

I use two of the wet/dry bags that comes in the set from amazon.  One to tote all my “supplies” in and one to use for the pump pieces that I stash in the fridge between pumping sessions.  (Best information I found was that pump pieces that contact liquid can be put in the fridge between pumping sessions and just washed at the end of the day.)

I have used both the Medela Freestyle and Pump In Style and have been happy with both but find that the Freestyle is definitely the easiest for on the go with it’s rechargeable battery and light weight.

The large wet/dry bag has plenty of room for my other go-to supplies.  I keep storage bags (with a marker tucked in the bag for labeling) to store my daily supply.  Coconut oil was recommended to me buy a friend instead of lanolin oil and while at home I have a large Trader Joes container, I grabbed a smaller on the go container to keep in my bag.  Head phones are a must for those nursing room sessions so I can catch up on my Netflix shows.  I purchased the hands free pumping bra when I was pumping in the car, but it is also great to have for convince for double pumping.  This adorable nursing cover is perfect for sharing time in the pump room with other mom co-workers. And of course it never hurts to throw a burp rag in to have on hand!

What items do you tote around for pumping?

** PS – I also learned the hard way it is a great idea to keep a manual pump in the car for those times you get all the way to work or far from the house and realize you have forgotten one pump piece (or the whole thing).  This has definitely come in handy!!
