Questions - pumping at work
When pumping at work how many sets of pump pieces do you have?
If just one how and where do you dry them?
Do you use the quick wipes and then sterilize in microwave?
Trying to figure out what I need and how to use the time most efficiently.
Any tips greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Questions - pumping at work
i pump twice a day at work and used to bring two sets...but it was a pain
so i bring one set and i wash and dry it after both uses (we have a kitchen with a sink so that makes it easier for me).
i bring 4 bottles with lids so that i can just bring the milk home and bag it up when im home

I have one set for work. I rinse and dry it in the bathroom each time I use it, then bring it home to go in the dishwasher at night.

Questions - pumping at work
I pumped 3x a day. Used wipes to wipe down and kept all pieces in the fridge. At night would swap out for a new set or hand wash and air dry. I had a special bag to keep everything in.

Re: Questions - pumping at work
I usually let the pieces air dry is it ok to dry with paper towel?

If you have a fridge, you don't need to wash. Just put the pump parts in the fridge (or in a bag in the fridge). It's an excellent timesaver and perfectly fine to do.

Yes I have a fridge, so I would pump and then put tops on the bottles of milk and then just put the parts in a bag and use them again with fresh bottles?

This is what I did, then brought them home each night and washed them.
I would hold a tissue to them for a few seconds before use to warm them up, lol.

Re: Questions - pumping at work
Honestly it depended on where I was . I sometimes washed and dried if a sink was available, sometimes, I would use just Poland spring and dried best I could ( if sink was not available), sometimes I used the wipes made to clean the parts followed by a rinse with Poland spring. I always kept it in my little cooler bag.

Exactly! Then wash everything when you get home. I even do this at home and wash every other day.
