Most EP moms get pretty used to schlepping around our pumps, be it to work or out on the town. But even the most practiced pumper among us has probably forgotten a part once or twice and cursed themselves when they realized - which was probably when we needed to or had already begun pumping!
One part that is often forgotten: bottle caps! I know I've done it at least twice...usually on Monday mornings.
My solution (besides throwing a couple of extra caps into my bag) is to always keep a pack of freezer bags in the side pocket of my pump bag. They don't take up much space, and they're a LOT cheaper than buying emergency bottles if you find yourself in a bind. They come in handy if you find yourself without caps, or if you end up needing to pump again into a single set of bottles they can be used for additional storage. And since there are many bags in a package, even if you forget a few times you're still covered :)
What's in your pump bag?
bottle brush, extra batteries, pumping bra, nursing cover up thing - Love this blog BTW!!
ReplyDeletealso a few paper towels, some plastic bags for storing pump parts that I can't wash at the time
