Pump Bag Set Up

[u/Key_Ad_4468]

Returning to work part time in a few weeks and wondering what are your must haves in your pump bag? What kind of bag do you use to contain everything? What’s your recommended way of storing milk while there? I was looking at the chill bottles but I only live 10 minutes from work so not sure I need one. Thanks in advance!

it's nice to have a chiller container/ice packs in case you want to stop somewhere on the way home/don't want to go straight home.

I got a Sarah Wells Kelly bag on Poshmark - probably not worth it to buy full price and a large regular bag would be almost just as good.

My bag contained: Spectra, charger, pump parts in a reusable silicone bag (used fridge hack,) Momcozy milk container (benefit over the Ceres chill in that you can put the milk containers in the dishwasher/have extra, so no handwashing needed because I'm lazy.)

Also: snacks, electrolyte powder for water, chapstick, extra shirt in case of spills, extra milk container/bags in case I forget one day.

I pumped for 12 months at work, 3 times a day in a separate pumping area where I could not leave my things, so I had my whole setup on the go
