What can I use to carry my breast pump?

How do I organize my breast pump bag?

What should I store my breast pump parts in?

What is a breast pump bag?
A breast pump bag is the perfect storage option for busy moms who pump on-the-go. Carrying around bottles, your breast pump, batteries, a power adapter, tubing, and additional supplies for breastfeeding can be a lot to handle, which is why a spacious bag is a perfect accessory for every new mom.
Does pump bag count as carry on?
Your breast pump does not count as a “carry on” item because it is a “medical device.” So bring your regular carry on luggage, but be prepared to explain several times that your pump is a medical device. Your freezer packs and breast milk storage containers may be more than 3 oz.
Can I use a breast pump bag as a diaper bag?
Ju-Ju-Be Be Supplied. The Ju-Ju-Be Be Supplied is the perfect bag for breastfeeding moms. The high-quality construction of this bag allows you to use it well beyond your pumping years; it transitions smoothly into a great diaper bag or tote that is functional after you put the pump away.
How do you store pump parts and bottles?
When you don’t have time to clean your pump parts in between pump sessions, place your pump parts—rinsed or not—in a large resealable zip-top plastic bag and stash in the fridge (along with your pumped breast milk), or in a cooler filled with ice or gel packs until your next pump session.
Is it OK to just rinse pump parts?
Cleaning Breast Pump Parts It is not possible to completely sterilize breast pump parts at home, even if you boil them. However, sterilization is not necessary to keep these parts safe and sanitary. You can do that by thoroughly washing away germs and bacteria with liquid dishwashing soap and warm water.
Do bottles need to be dry before pumping?
There’s no need to dry the items. Store equipment you aren’t going to use straight away in a clean, sealed container in the fridge. Wash these containers every day with hot soapy water, and rinse them with very hot water.
Can you bring breast milk through security?

Can you fly with breast pump?
TSA breast pump policy is that breast pumps can be carried on or checked. However, I would recommend that no matter how short your flight is, if you are flying with a breast pump, carry your pump on. Most airlines will consider it a medical device and not count it as a carry-on.
