Which brand do you use? Do you use the Medela bags or is there a cheaper brand but works just as well?

I use the Medela bags and they've been just fine. Honestly, I don't even use them that often. I hand wash everything and try to sterilize once a week or so.

I used the Medela ones at work. I never tried another brand. I like that you could use them 20 times before having to replace.

@BlueWolverine: At home I have been hand washing them. I was thinking more along the lines of when I go back to work.
@pelikila: I didn't know that you could use them 20 times before having to replace. Good to know. Thank you!

@WALLAROO: For pumping at work, I just put everything, including pump parts, in the fridge between pumping sessions adn then just clean everything when I get home at night. Been working great so far.

@BlueWolverine: Thanks for the tip! Not really looking forward to going back to work or pumping at work!

@WALLAROO: Yeah, pumping at work is not fun. Heck, pumping in general is not my fave. You also might think about keeping some spare pump parts at work. In the five weeks I've been back, I've had to run home three times because I forgot valves or breastshields. Erg.

I use the Medela bags at work. I keep my pump and parts at work during the week. I bring the pump parts home over the weekend to wash and sterilize. During the week i use the bag to stetilize pump parts in the microwave at work. I get in a little early so i can do that in the morning. I hand wash/rinse after each session. I bring a supply of bottles in on Mondays which last me almost all week.
