Night out
Looking for tips to pump during a night out. We've been invited to a wedding and that will be my longest outing since having my daughter. I think I'll need to pump once, maybe twice while we're at the wedding. Any tips for doing this (including storing and washing)? Thanks in advance!
Thanks for the tip Tara! I'm not too well versed in hand expressing but it sounds very convenient (storage bags and no washing!). Thanks so much ?
I’ve been finding that the easiest way for me to pump when out and about is to hand express. I don’t know if that’s possible for everyone I just have it down really well. I wash my hands and express straight into bottles and put a lid on them. If I am getting it back to my babies within a few hours I just leave them out. If they won’t eat them for longer than that, I bring a little cooler bag I have with an ice pack in it to keep the milk cold. If they aren’t eating soon you could also express straight into a storage bag, to save space in your cooler bag. I don’t like carrying around too much stuff! This process makes it so I don’t have to worry about washing parts/bottles when out and about!
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...

Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
We went to a wedding one, luckily parking wasn't very far, I just left my pump and supplies in the car, with a cooler and ice packs. I pumped in the car put it into bottles and stored them in the cooler, went back into the place and continued with my night.
