Pumping at Work ?s

DottyBlue

Just a couple, I promise!

I am back at work for the first time today and pumping a total of 4 times while I'm here in order to keep up with my little man.  He eats every two hours, so it's really interesting to keep up with!

First, has anyone seen a supply increase with pumping during the day at work?  I am pumping for 20 minutes, 4x between 10 and 5 and my DS is usually a fast eater (done after 10 minutes max per side).  Not sure what to expect, but an increase would be nice!

Second, does anyone just store their pump parts in a bag between pumpings?  Not in a fridge/cooler bag?  Kellymom says that any residual milk would be fine at room temp for up to 8 hours.  Or am I pushing it if I don't store in the fridge/cooler?  Thoughts? I currently have the parts in a bag with a freezer pack, but it's one more thing for me to carry to work each day.
