So I can just leave it in my office and only have to worry about bringing parts and bottles. Knowing myself, I kind of want to have a spare set of parts in the office just in case...but in an emergency, there is a Target a couple blocks away! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-sets-of-spare-parts#post-1425382 Fri, 14 Feb 2014 17:51:53 +0000 dojo 1425382@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have two sets of parts and it works perfectly! I use one set at work (store the parts in the fridge between sessions) and then have a clean one at night. I probably could get by with just one set but it's nice to have the spare. I have extra bottles that fit the parts too (the medela ones).</p> <p>My tip would be to keep a manual pump at work as well - I have forgotten my pump a couple of times and I was so relieved to have that as my back-up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-sets-of-spare-parts#post-1425347 Fri, 14 Feb 2014 17:34:29 +0000 jetsa 1425347@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have like 3 sets and to me that's the perfect number. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-sets-of-spare-parts#post-1425338 Fri, 14 Feb 2014 17:29:48 +0000 PurplePeony 1425338@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For WOHMs, what did you find optimal (or wish you had gotten) as far as collection bottles, spare flanges, etc when you returned to work? I will likely need to pump at home before I leave for work in the mornings and won't have the time/desire to wash those parts before I go, so I need at least one spare set -- but should I get another for good measure? I kind of like the idea of having one set always at home and two sets for the office in case I don't get to wash them one night or something. But maybe that's overkill? </p>
