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!

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.

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!

Someone on my Facebook page has started a Go Fund Me, so that they can raise money for their wedding.

Breast pump covered by insurance

I've already done what I needed to find out what type of pump I get covered through insurance. It turns out, with my insurance, I can't even get my pump shipped to me until I call them with all the birth details of my baby. So...wth am I supposed to do having a baby and no pump?! I plan to pump exclusively and this REALLY throws a wrench in my plans.

You may want to ask your doctor for a prescription for a hospital grade pump if you
