If you're planning to pump when returning to work, you might want to bring the following items with you to make it a bit easier.
- Breast pump
- Extra parts
- Steam sanitizer bags for your pump parts
- Photos of your baby
- Snacks/comfort food
- An extra blouse (in case you leak)
- A book, your ipod, or something to listen to while you pump
- Plastic or glass storage bottles and a small cooler to store them in
- A towel to put over the pump if you need to muffle the noise
- A huge container of water (drinking water helps boost your milk production)
Also, a phone with a speakerphone and mute button, so you can dial into the all-day meeting when you need to excuse yourself.
