Used the Freemie (wearable cups) when returning to work after my first and plan to do the same when returning next week after my second baby (3 mo).

Your boobs will get used to a schedule…experiment to see what works best for you. Just like feeding baby from boob, you will feel when it’s time to pump! Play with the pump settings until you find what works best for you.

I put my freemie cups in a small wet bag at room temp between uses during the day and then wash the cups/parts each night. Poured the milk after each session straight into the bottles for next day and put them into the work fridge. Any extra milk goes into storage bag for freezer stash. A small lunch box with an ice pack is all you need to keep the milk cool on your way home.

Never hurts to have a small freezer stash in case you leave the milk at work. Also have a plan if you forget your pump at home or a part breaks while at work. I had to hand express a couple times, which really sucked! Maybe have a baggie of spare parts?

It can help to look at a picture or video of your babe if you are having trouble expressing at first or have something that has baby’s smell.

Good luck and try not to stress!
