[quote=Anonymous]I pumped at work 3x/day for about 10 mos after returning from mat leave.  I am perhaps more lackadasical about the hygiene part than other moms, but in one year of ebf+center daycare, DD had exactly one cold and one ear infection.  So I don't think it harmed her.

If you and LO are pretty healthy, and there is no more than, say, 6 hours between your first and last pumping sessions, there's really no need to refrigerate pump parts.  BM is good stored at room temp for that long, so why wouldn't the tiny drops of BM that are stuck to the parts?

I left my pump at work (obviously was not EP'ing) so only carried bottles, horns, and small cooler bag back and forth each day.  All of those were left, with the pump, in the pumping room between sessions (yes, i was spoiled).  This minimizes the back-and-forth shlepping.

I kept my parts in a small cloth diaper wetbag also, and liked it, but the waterproof-ness of it was overkill.  I started to realize that the little drawstring bags that flannel sheet sets come in, would have worked just as well (and been just as washable).  Keep a washcloth with you at all times and you'll be set.
