You have the cooler right but not the ice pack? Put the cooler in the fridge too with it open. That should make the cooler cool enough for your drive home. If anything I was going to suggest the same @MamaMoose: said. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/question-about-transporting-home-pumped-milk-from-work#post-1242045 Mon, 25 Nov 2013 14:30:26 +0000 californiadreams 1242045@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: yes i am in canada! i will put it in the trunk, good idea! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/question-about-transporting-home-pumped-milk-from-work#post-1242042 Mon, 25 Nov 2013 14:29:40 +0000 Adira 1242042@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you live somewhere where it's cold? If so, maybe you could put it in your trunk for the ride home?</p> <p>But I don't think 40 minutes to an hour will hurt it at all! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/question-about-transporting-home-pumped-milk-from-work#post-1242034 Mon, 25 Nov 2013 14:28:05 +0000 MamaMoose 1242034@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It should be fine in the cooler without the ice pack. But if you are concerned do your office have a freezer with loose ice you could put in the cooler around the bottles? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/question-about-transporting-home-pumped-milk-from-work#post-1242031 Mon, 25 Nov 2013 14:27:56 +0000 mrsjyw 1242031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@californiadreams: I've done that more than once and the milk was fine! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/question-about-transporting-home-pumped-milk-from-work#post-1242026 Mon, 25 Nov 2013 14:26:36 +0000 californiadreams 1242026@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I forgot to bring an ice pack to work. I can keep the milk in the fridge at work all afternoon (I have the cooler case that comes with the medela freestyle kit), but for the actual drive home will it be ok to be out the fridge for about 40 minutes and then put it back in the fridge again once i am home? or should i leave it at work until i bring an ice pack tomorrow? </p>
