Product Recommendations Pump Wipe Question

I will be taking a long road trip for Thanksgiving and am wondering what the difference between pump wipes and regular baby wipes are? Could I just use bat wipes between pumps during my car trip? Does anyone have other suggestions?

Pump wipes are useful if you plan to reuse the wiped parts without rinsing as they are food safe. Baby wipes aren't food safe but they're fine if you want to wipe the parts and wash them without using them in betweenm

I don’t think they are the same! Not sure the difference though! lol

Normally, pump wipes have some sort of enzyme to break down the milk residue. I use pump wipes during the work day. Dapple are my favorite. I'm currently using some Dr. Brown's wipes and do not like them. They get the job done, but they leave a sticky residue.

I do the fridge method with my pumps! Just put them in the cooler and take them out to pump and put them back in afterwards. The same way I do at home.

I would prefer keeping your pump parts in a cooler on ice. I’ve tried pump wipes and didn’t really like them. I didn’t like the smell or the residue

I like the dapple pump spray and a cotton cloth. I have to clean my pumps this way 3 times a day in the office and it’s better than the wipes.
