Since it's all day, I don't want to lug around my pump the whole time (I have the PISA), that would be heavy. </p> <p>Guess I will order a manual pump and test it out a few times prior. </p> <p>THANKS!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/all-day-wine-expo-amp-pumping#post-517186 Mon, 21 Jan 2013 10:08:54 +0000 immabeetoo 517186@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Id ask the convention center if they have a space they can use. When I was running a large event at an expo center I had a Mom ask and I gave her access to a small, private room that locked. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/all-day-wine-expo-amp-pumping#post-517182 Mon, 21 Jan 2013 10:05:36 +0000 matador84 517182@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If it is at a convention center, see if there is a small meeting room that is not being used. I have used a manual and it takes about 10 per side or so. You could get milkscreen strips and see if you need to dump at all... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/all-day-wine-expo-amp-pumping#post-517139 Mon, 21 Jan 2013 09:48:16 +0000 MaisyMay 517139@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've heard the same as Mrs. Bells. Does your electric pump have to be plugged in? Mine is pretty portable, so I'd just toss it into a large purse and, hate to say it, pump in the bathroom. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/all-day-wine-expo-amp-pumping#post-517138 Mon, 21 Jan 2013 09:47:25 +0000 T.H.O.U. 517138@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you have a pump? I agree that pumping in a bathroom is probably easier since you will want to dump anyways. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/all-day-wine-expo-amp-pumping#post-517087 Mon, 21 Jan 2013 09:20:46 +0000 Mrsbells 517087@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>from what I've heard manual pumping can take about 10 minutes per side, but I dont know from personal experience because I've never used a manual </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/all-day-wine-expo-amp-pumping#post-517081 Mon, 21 Jan 2013 09:18:41 +0000 CarrieLouWho 517081@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Every year we do a girls weekend and go to this all day wine expo. Last year I was DD since I had just found out I was pregnant, but this year I'm trying to figure out how to manage pumping while attending. </p> <p>The expo is from 11-6 and we usually are there about the whole time. Initially I had thought I could go to my car and pump halfway through. It's in a large convention center though, so we'll be parking kind of far away so I think if I have to leave to pump in the car I'll be gone for about an hour. </p> <p>Another thought is to buy a manual pump and pump &amp; dump in the bathroom? Has anyone done that before? How long does manual pumping usually take?</p> <p>Any other suggestions? I doubt I'll be drinking a ton (as I have in the past) because I can't imagine a hangover with a baby right now (LO will be 4.5 months when we go).<br /> TIA! </p>
