He took an early lunch to bring me bags when Rite Aid didn't have them. I feel kind of like MacGuyver with my rubber bands. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-left-my-bottles-at-home#post-1349179 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 11:02:21 +0000 purrpletulips 1349179@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You should be able to attach any standard opening bottle to the Ameda. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-left-my-bottles-at-home#post-1349110 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 10:52:44 +0000 yellowbird 1349110@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yay! I was going to suggest other bottles too. Hooray! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-left-my-bottles-at-home#post-1349088 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 10:50:00 +0000 avivoca 1349088@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Fabulous! Thank you hive! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-left-my-bottles-at-home#post-1349053 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 10:45:42 +0000 travellingbee 1349053@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@avivoca: Yes that will work. You can attach any standard sized bottle to it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-left-my-bottles-at-home#post-1349049 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 10:45:01 +0000 septca 1349049@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@avivoca: Most bottles are standard, so you should be able to use any bottle they have at Riteaid. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-left-my-bottles-at-home#post-1349041 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 10:43:53 +0000 avivoca 1349041@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travellingbee: I've got an Ameda. Do other bottles work with those flanges? I've attached one of my glass Evenflo's to it, but I don't have them anymore. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-left-my-bottles-at-home#post-1349024 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 10:42:24 +0000 avivoca 1349024@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@septca: I don't have any storage baggies with me. My husband is going to bring me those to pump into and have as back-up.</p> <p>@lawbee11: @redsmarties: My pumping setup isn't really good for that (I pump in a storage closet with archival materials and would have to balance bottles/cups/tupperware on my knees. But I'm going to go raid the kitchen now to see what I can come up with. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-left-my-bottles-at-home#post-1349022 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 10:42:09 +0000 travellingbee 1349022@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Don't pump and dump! Do you have a Medela pump? All regular sized bottles fit it. I had this happen and ran to the store and bought cheapo evenflo bottles and pumped into them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-left-my-bottles-at-home#post-1349001 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 10:40:06 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1349001@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree, pump into a cup or a bag or anything that is clean! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-left-my-bottles-at-home#post-1348982 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 10:38:15 +0000 septca 1348982@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You don't have to P&amp;D! You can use a rubber band to attach a plastic baggie (do you have any milk storage bags with you??) to your flange and pump into that! Later, you can just transfer the milk to bottles. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-left-my-bottles-at-home#post-1348979 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 10:37:48 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1348979@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sad! I'm sorry about that. I second @lawbee11's suggestion - even a Tupperware container might work to save some of the milk! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-left-my-bottles-at-home#post-1348970 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 10:37:14 +0000 kiddosc 1348970@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you have water bottles or baggies that you could pump into? Or a cup that you can hand express into just to relieve the pressure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-left-my-bottles-at-home#post-1348968 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 10:37:07 +0000 lawbee11 1348968@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@avivoca: Can you buy another type of bottle at Rite Aid and just hold it under? Not as convenient as one that connects to the pump, but better than wasted milk! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-left-my-bottles-at-home#post-1348956 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 10:35:25 +0000 avivoca 1348956@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I left my bottles at home today. The Rite-Aid near my office doesn't carry pumping supplies (actually, the person I talked to had never heard of it), and I'm without my car. My husband will bring me something on his lunch, but in the meantime, my boobs are killing me. What's the best way to pump and dump? Stand over the bathroom sink?</p> <p>I'm kicking myself. </p>
