advertising mom is a blog writer in the Chicago area who has two youngsters born quite darn close to mine. as well as we both had a victorious VBAC with #2, and, we are both in marketing, so we were like, completely finest friends, even before we ever truly had a conversation.
She works full time, so pumping is part of her everyday life. I feel for her, since I so hated the pump as well as all of it’s parts when I worked outside the house during Julian’s babyhood. Also, there were random drips of breast milk on my pump’s bring situation as well as in some cases on my lap. Sorta gross, even though I’m not sure why.
Miss advertising mom created herself a solution. She called it the “Pump parts Terry Bag,” as well as like a great marketer, she offers us on it by explaining the issue it solves:
My breast pump came with an unsightly black carry bag (which I don’t use), however it didn’t include a great service for toting all of the pump’s parts as well as accessories, the horns as well as valves that come into get in touch with with milk as well as have to be cleaned between pumping sessions.
Since I pump twice a day, I was washing those parts with meal detergent as well as hot water as well as providing them a cursory drying with paper towels. however they never seem to get truly dry.
I’d been keeping them in a gallon Ziploc bag in my backpack, however I didn’t like exactly how fogged up the bag would ended up being as well as I hated utilizing moist parts. Also, I discovered that cleaning the Ziploc bag even when a week was a pain in the butt. as well as I was never positive that it was truly clean.
Enter the Pump parts Terry Bag!
This velcro-close bag, developed by me as well as sewed from an old towel by my wonderful mother-in-law, holds all of my pump parts as well as doubles as a lap pad for me, protecting my work pants from inadvertent milk drips.
No much more moist horns as well as I can throw it into the laundry every couple of days!
Nice work, MM!
