Once I'm done pumping, I do the following:</p> <p>Remove pump parts/bottles from bra<br /> Remove bra<br /> Remove pump parts from bottles<br /> Hand Express into bottles (I'm never empty *cry*)<br /> Cap Bottles, put into cooler<br /> Put pump parts in baggies<br /> Unplug and throw Pump into pumping bag<br /> Put pump parts and bra into bag - zip<br /> Put real bra and shirt back on</p> <p>This whole thing takes me about 5 minutes. Maybe a little less. But I'd guess hand expressing itself takes me a minute or two. I suppose I could always pump a couple extra minutes, but I try to stop pumping around 5 minutes to when I have to leave. I'm afraid of running over into the next girl's time slot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nooooooooo#post-838904 Fri, 07 Jun 2013 08:25:37 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 838904@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree - let's help speed up your process! Make you sure have enough sets of parts for each session at work. Then just toss them in a bag! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nooooooooo#post-838892 Fri, 07 Jun 2013 08:22:16 +0000 MaisyMay 838892@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If clean up is part of the problem, what process do you do? I pump in my car, pour the milk into a 3rd bottle to store it, and put my pump parts in a cooler bag. Washing happens at home. Once I'm done pumping, I'm outta the car in less than 2 minutes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nooooooooo#post-838533 Fri, 07 Jun 2013 04:53:38 +0000 T.H.O.U. 838533@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: what is your process? </p> <p>I used to seriously fly unplugging and throwing stuff in my bag and capping the milk. I didn't unassemble my pump parts I just threw them in a zip lock. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nooooooooo#post-837661 Thu, 06 Jun 2013 20:07:34 +0000 Adira 837661@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: I guess I need more practice. It still takes me five minutes after I'm done to clean up and put everything away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nooooooooo#post-837104 Thu, 06 Jun 2013 18:38:05 +0000 T.H.O.U. 837104@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: we had 30 minute time slots and it worked out well. We got really good at setting up and cleaning up quickly so we could pump extra long. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nooooooooo#post-836949 Thu, 06 Jun 2013 17:55:31 +0000 Adira 836949@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@dagret: @Smurfette: Say what! What is this power converter thing you speak of?? I'll have to look into that. Only problem though is that our parking lot is like a mile long (okay, it's only 1/3 mile long) and it takes me 10 minutes to walk to my car, so I'm not sure I can really afford to be away from my desk for as long as I would need to. Blurg! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nooooooooo#post-836905 Thu, 06 Jun 2013 17:39:39 +0000 prettylizy 836905@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Boooooo!!! Sounds like a pretty busy spot! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nooooooooo#post-836879 Thu, 06 Jun 2013 17:29:20 +0000 Smurfette 836879@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: I was just going to suggest what @dagret: did. We bought one a couple years ago at Walmart for like $10.<br /> Plugs into the lighter. DH will use it to work in his laptop while in the car. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nooooooooo#post-836877 Thu, 06 Jun 2013 17:28:00 +0000 dagret 836877@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: could you get a power inverter for your cars lighter? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nooooooooo#post-836853 Thu, 06 Jun 2013 17:12:19 +0000 Adira 836853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs Green Grass: I have the room for 30 minutes, so I probably am pumping for about 20 minutes.</p> <p>@Rescuemom10: @Smurfette: I wish I could pump in my car, but my pump doesn't have a car adapter. And I don't think there are any closets I could use. Maybe a conference room, but finding a free one can be challenging. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nooooooooo#post-836671 Thu, 06 Jun 2013 16:04:41 +0000 mrsmate 836671@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh no! Can you talk to hr about making the intervals so everyone has longer to pump? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nooooooooo#post-836669 Thu, 06 Jun 2013 16:04:06 +0000 Smurfette 836669@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: The nerve of her! Is there anyway you can switch up the times you pump? Is there a closet you can go to? Your car? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nooooooooo#post-836645 Thu, 06 Jun 2013 15:54:08 +0000 Rescuemom10 836645@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have to pump for a decent amt of time to get what LO needs and to empty "the girls". Where I work there is a room but its first come first serve. I kept needing to go one week and someone would be in there. So now I dont even bother with the room and just go to my car. Its actually more comfrotable than the tiny cold room anyways. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nooooooooo#post-836560 Thu, 06 Jun 2013 15:25:52 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 836560@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How long do you have it for? That sucks that you have to finish at a specific time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nooooooooo#post-836503 Thu, 06 Jun 2013 15:08:25 +0000 Adira 836503@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: Someone already has it booked right before me too. :(</p> <p>@bunnylove08: That would probably be too awkward. Plus there's only one chair in there. It's a TINY room - not really big enough for two people. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nooooooooo#post-836498 Thu, 06 Jun 2013 15:08:11 +0000 swurlygurl 836498@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh - that's upsetting!! I'm sorry :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nooooooooo#post-836488 Thu, 06 Jun 2013 15:04:48 +0000 bunnylove08 836488@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>can you both pump at the same time? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nooooooooo#post-836483 Thu, 06 Jun 2013 15:02:05 +0000 regberadaisy 836483@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nooo can you go in earlier? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nooooooooo#post-836480 Thu, 06 Jun 2013 15:00:25 +0000 Adira 836480@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Someone booked the pumping room directly after when I have it, so I can no longer take my sweet time making sure to get the girls empty! Boooo! I left 5 minutes early and she was already there waiting! I'm never going to pump enough for Xander now! *sob* </p>
