1) Put the sleep sack on backwards once the kid masters the zipper
2) On a long flight, letting my 1 yo pry cheerios out of my hand one at a time as a form of entertainment

I washed my pump parts on Wednesdays and Fridays and kept the parts in the fridge in between. Worked just fine for the six months I pumped at work.

Why? I wash them as often as I can... should I not?
Milk is good in the fridge for 6-8 days. So, put the pump parts in a ziploc, stick them in the fridge, and then use them the next time you pump. There's just no need to wash them in between pumps in a single day.
If I could go back, I would only wash pump parts every 2-3 days, lol.
+1 I wash mine every other day.

Why bother? I just put mine in a ziplock in the fridge. The fridge keeps germs at bay.

That you can lower the # of times per day that you BF and still not wean totally.
That if you end up not BF'ing, it's ok.
That some babies just don't sleep at first.
Gripe water!

Every single one of these. DCUM is so full of snark, but so invaluable for the collective wisdom and experience.
