Breastmilk Storage while Working

Visitor Question: When I go back to work and need to pump during the day what do I do with the milk as I basically work out of my car with sales?

Breastfeeding Magazine Response: Moms who have no place to store their milk after they pump can safely keep it in a cooler on ice or with an ice pack until they return home.

Some breast pumps like the Medela Pump in Style have convenient storage compartments right in their carrying cases.

Good luck!
