But if you do, setting up before you start driving and unhooking once you arrive at your destination sounds like the way to go. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-pump-and-drive#post-528906 Sat, 26 Jan 2013 10:48:18 +0000 MaisyMay 528906@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Y'all are making me feel a lot better about this. I know that there will be some, not a ton, but some, afternoons where I am alone at work from 4-7 or even 3-7. If I take a break right before that, I can stretch until we close before needing to pump again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-pump-and-drive#post-528902 Sat, 26 Jan 2013 10:45:37 +0000 T-Mom 528902@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have done it! Same as others said.. Just make sure you don't have to have any human interaction while pumping... Drive thru, parking attendant, etc. Makes for awkward stares... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-pump-and-drive#post-528875 Sat, 26 Jan 2013 10:07:20 +0000 Weagle 528875@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would definitely do it! Kill two birds with one stone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-pump-and-drive#post-528869 Sat, 26 Jan 2013 10:04:01 +0000 prettylizy 528869@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with PP's, set yourself up and start pumping before you leave, make sure nothing is leaking and hit the road. Efficient use of time IMO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-pump-and-drive#post-528777 Sat, 26 Jan 2013 08:20:33 +0000 PrincessBaby 528777@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would totally do it! Mommyhood is all about efficiency $ that's pretty damn efficient! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-pump-and-drive#post-528770 Sat, 26 Jan 2013 08:14:46 +0000 autumnlove 528770@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, I did it a lot on my commute days. I set up before and threw a cover on. My favorite cover for driving was the Udder Cover because it wasn't as long as my Bebe Au Lait cover.</p> <p>I didn't unhook anything until I got home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-pump-and-drive#post-528729 Sat, 26 Jan 2013 07:11:29 +0000 MamaMoose 528729@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would. I would set myself up before leaving and wait until let down to start driving. Then the only thing you need to do while in motion is switch the pump off when you're done. Then unhook everything when you get home. Pushing a button on a pump is no different to pushing a button to change the radio station. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-pump-and-drive#post-528718 Sat, 26 Jan 2013 06:36:54 +0000 NerdBee 528718@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm the same as @HabesBabe and try to drive as distraction free as possible too. I don't even like to eat while driving so I can't imagine pumping! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-pump-and-drive#post-528711 Sat, 26 Jan 2013 05:51:22 +0000 HabesBabe 528711@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Personally, I wouldn't. I like to drive as distraction-free as possible. But I know many mamas here on HB have/do! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-pump-and-drive#post-528708 Sat, 26 Jan 2013 05:40:53 +0000 T.H.O.U. 528708@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup! I did it all the time with no HF bra </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-pump-and-drive#post-528697 Sat, 26 Jan 2013 05:13:57 +0000 MaisyMay 528697@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I go back to work on 2/4 and my commute is about half an hour. Because it's going to be hard to pump the last 3-4 hours of work, I've been thinking about pumping while driving home.</p> <p>Have any of you tried to do this? I have a hands free bra and cover, so I don't think I'd need anything else.</p> <p>Thoughts? </p>
