Wow... glad your co-worker was able to help out! That is great. And I've heard that the Ameda pump is the closed system, which is good. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/left-my-pump-at-home#post-129953 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 13:50:50 +0000 autumnlove 129953@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pointybird: haha, I have post baby brain too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/left-my-pump-at-home#post-129914 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 13:30:50 +0000 plaidpants 129914@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At work last week, I thought I forgot bottles so I pumped into a paper cup. The whole time I was thinking, "I can't believe I have to dump all this milk out!" And then I was imagining running into a coworker on my way to the sink with a cup full of breastmilk. But as soon as I finished, I realized the bottles were a foot away from me, partially obscured by my pump. Clearly, "pregnancy brain" doesn't stop after the baby is born. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/left-my-pump-at-home#post-129710 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 11:44:15 +0000 autumnlove 129710@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Turns out my coworker's wife has the same pump so he brought it to work for me! Luckily, she no longer pumps, the Ameda pump is a closed system(less chance of contamination) and I brought all own accessories(flange, valves, bottles, etc)with me at work...</p> <p>Whew just pumped 12 ounces. Best feeling ever! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/left-my-pump-at-home#post-129673 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 11:11:56 +0000 Lozza 129673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, I hand expressed in the bathroom. It sucked. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/left-my-pump-at-home#post-129622 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 10:41:54 +0000 T.H.O.U. 129622@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hand express into a cup or something. It really does help with the pressure. I'm sorry! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/left-my-pump-at-home#post-129617 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 10:40:28 +0000 pelikila 129617@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did that but I only live about 30 minutes from home so I just went home. I would definitely agree, hand express. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/left-my-pump-at-home#post-129430 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 09:37:04 +0000 autumnlove 129430@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: I am gonna google some methods!

My mom said she used to hand express during the day because she didn't know pumps existed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/left-my-pump-at-home#post-129394 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 09:29:18 +0000 autumnlove 129394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was in a rush this morning and forgot to bring my pump to work! I live about 50 miles away so getting it isn't an option. I went to a few CVS drugstores nearby but they don't stock manual pumps!</p> <p>Arrghh! So annoyed.. I have toilet paper stuffed in my bra as makeshift nursing pads! ;-p</p> <p>Have you ever left your pump at home? </p>
