We have a lactation room at work but it's sometimes hard to get my last pumping session in with others using the room too. I might try this too. I've pumped while on a long car ride but I wasn't the one driving. It worked fine, aside from the fact that we got to an unexpected tollbooth and I was like- oh, heeeeey x_x </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-and-driving#post-43230 Thu, 29 Dec 2011 10:39:28 +0000 mrstilly 43230@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I actually did this quite a bit when I was still pumping. It worked when we were traveling, since I could pump then give DS the bottle without stopping to nurse. My commute to work is almost an hour, and 35 mins from day care, so I had time to pump. I got everything set up, then pumped one side at a time. I didn't always get a lot and toward the end I stopped because my letdown was taking longer and longer, but it can be done. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-and-driving#post-43117 Thu, 29 Dec 2011 09:06:55 +0000 pelikila 43117@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Thehistoryofus: That is awesome that pumping while driving works for you! I'd never have achieved let down since I had to totally concentrate on pumping and milk and my LO in order to get much of anything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-and-driving#post-43101 Thu, 29 Dec 2011 08:39:47 +0000 T.H.O.U. 43101@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just wanted to share that I have been doing this and it works out really well. It takes me about 15 minutes to get from day care to work and I pump about 10 minutes of that. I usually hook up while at a stop light and unhook when I get parked. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-and-driving#post-17377 Thu, 17 Nov 2011 14:44:04 +0000 T.H.O.U. 17377@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This topic came up in another thread. Does anyone else pump while driving? </p> <p>I tried it today, but just with one side (less to juggle) and it worked pretty well. I was able to get about an ounce and a half which isn't that much but it might let me fit in one extra pumping session throughout the day (I pump three times at work). </p> <p>I was thinking about just trying to pump one side (right sad boob) on the way to work, and pump the other side (left happy boob) on the way home. I figure even if she is hungry when I pick her up, happy boob should refill quickly. </p>
