If not I'd use a cooler w/icepacks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-in-own-office-mini-fridge#post-562103 Tue, 12 Feb 2013 13:12:12 +0000 purrpletulips 562103@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely as long as your company would allow it since you already have the fridge. I work in a historic building with somewhat unstable electrical so we aren't allowed to "add" electrical items without permission. I just use ice packs and a cooler bag at my desk since I pump in my own office but the shared fridge is on another floor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-in-own-office-mini-fridge#post-562095 Tue, 12 Feb 2013 13:08:19 +0000 keiki_mama 562095@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My company provided me with a mini fridge for my breastmilk. Depending on the state you live in, your work may be required to provide you with a separate refrigerator just for your milk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-in-own-office-mini-fridge#post-562091 Tue, 12 Feb 2013 13:05:36 +0000 plantains 562091@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a mini fridge in my office and put mine in there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-in-own-office-mini-fridge#post-562075 Tue, 12 Feb 2013 12:57:37 +0000 MsLipGloss 562075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mini Fridge FTW! Otherwise, I would keep it cool in a cooler bag (I have one with large re-freezeable insert that keeps milk/pump parts cool all day). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-in-own-office-mini-fridge#post-562066 Tue, 12 Feb 2013 12:55:30 +0000 regberadaisy 562066@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would def use a personal mini fridge. At my old job they had a mini fridge for just the moms wiht a lock.<br /> Now I just keep in in my cooler bag with a bunch of ice packs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-in-own-office-mini-fridge#post-561272 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 23:48:40 +0000 MaisyMay 561272@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would totally! I leave my milk in it's cooler bag in my car for now because I don't want to leave it in the shared fridge. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-in-own-office-mini-fridge#post-561218 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 22:24:23 +0000 mrsjyw 561218@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We also have a shared mini fridge and I plan on using that since my team is so small, but if I had one to bring to my office I"D TOTALLY USE IT! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-in-own-office-mini-fridge#post-561216 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 22:22:50 +0000 mrskc 561216@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I totally would use it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-in-own-office-mini-fridge#post-561209 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 22:15:55 +0000 Smurfette 561209@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would! That way you do t have to walk down the hall with milk. I am dreading having to walk to the room to pump with the pump and then keeping the milk in the common fridges. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-in-own-office-mini-fridge#post-561206 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 22:14:32 +0000 lemong 561206@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a mini fridge in my office and its great! I can pump right at my desk, put my pump parts and BM I the fridge all without getting out of my seat. It's really convenient. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-in-own-office-mini-fridge#post-561197 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 22:07:30 +0000 DillonLion 561197@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I go back to work next week and am wondering if I should pit a mini fridge in my office for pumping purposes.</p> <p>We already own the fridge and it is currently not being used.</p> <p>There is a large refrigerator in the break room, but it is at the other end of the hall.</p> <p>Would it make sense to just put the small fridge in my office?<br /> Any downsides to this that I'm missing? </p>
