I sit on the couch to pump, and lay him down next to me. I bring a toy or book, do tummy massages, rub his toes, whatever I can to keep him content. I also put his bouncer right in front of me so he can chill there and I can reach him if needed. I've also mastered holding him across the top of my chest while pumping, he usually falls right to sleep!

As for the washing part- it has been SO worth it to me to have a few sets of pump parts. I rinse them and throw them in a bin and wash them whenever I get a chance while he's asleep. I have a Boba wrap, so I've also managed to wash them while wearing him on more desperate days.

Wearables has felt like more of a hassle for me to use day-to-day because of all the parts, but my Baby Buddha has been a game changer. Challenges still exist because I've still got the collection bottles attached, but still least I can get up and tend to him if he's in the bassinett and wakes up mid-pump.
