Pumping on a 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!
My breast are heavy and full with milk but when I squeeze nothing comes out and when I try to pump nothing is pumped into the breast pump its like I have milk but its stuck and wont come out...any tips or help on this.. i really would like to breastfeed my daughter....
20 days to my due date and yesterday I was 1 cm dilated. I’m so ready to be a mama to my baby. But she’s so not wanting to come out. Anyone have tips, to get my baby out?
Asking for donations for a wedding? 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.

I have the medela pump in style advanced (backpack version). it came with a cooler (including ice pack) and battery pack, so it's travel ready. I also picked up some wipes for the pump so I can clean it when I don't have access to a sink. it's an expensive pump, but I got it free through my insurance.

I've never used my electric pump outside of the house so I'm no help there, but this is the manual pump I have. I use it more than the electric one:

I only have a double electric pump. Any suggestions using this hardware?
If not, any recommendations for a manual pump?
Thanks ladies!

I second what @Marla said. Manual pump, rinse with cold water, put in a plastic baggie. Keep a cooler with and ice pack in your car for storage

If I only need to pump once I take my hand pump. Much easier to tote around and the parts can easily be rinsed and bagged then fully washed when I get home.
