| Breast Pump Bag I recieved from Kaylaa designs. |
Last month, I returned to work part time as a nurse. This was after spending 3 blissful (and exhausting, and amazing, and challenging, and surreal) months with my new baby girl. I have been blessed to be able to exclusively breastfeed my sweet girl and it has been amazing to watch her grow so much from what my body provides for her! As I returned to work, I knew that we would face some new challenges on our breastfeeding journey. Being away from my daughter meant I would have to pump and provide bottles for her sitter…
I developed a healthy dose of what I like to call “pump anxiety”…
Will I be able to pump enough?
Will she consistently take a bottle?
Will my supply tank being away from her?
How will someone as unorganized as me keep up with transporting
pump parts and bottles here there and everywhere?
I am happy to report that after a month of being back at work, I
have been able to provide enough milk for my baby girl to be at the sitter’s 2
days a week, just pumping while at work.
If you don’t already know, there are laws protecting breastfeeding moms
all over the country. Your employer must
provide enough time, and a private space (this space cannot be a bathroom) for
you to pump as often as necessary for up to a year after your baby is born! It’s
not necessarily paid breaks, but it is a protection afforded so you can
continue to provide the best for your babe, even if you must return to work!
This was a relief to me, and thankfully my employer has been very
supportive of my needing to pump!
Another thing that has helped me in this new pumping journey is this great
bag that was provided to me by Kaylaa Bags. They sent me their premium breast
pump bag free of charge for my honest review of the product.
I was very excited about the opportunity to work with Kaylaa Bags
on this product review. I can tell that
they are really trying to help out breastfeeding moms! They have a blog on
their website with tips and stories to help inspire us mommas! They have even made this great infographic,
detailing breastmilk storage guidelines!

Check out their website to
view the beautiful options for their premium breast pump bag. I was sent the Rosy weekend design for
review, which was perfect since I am a big fan of all things orange here in vol
country!

I received the bag very quickly and was so excited to open it
up. It was packaged very carefully and
the bag, as well as the detachable strap was wrapped carefully to ensure they
were protected on their way to me.

The bag is very high quality and beautiful with the gold zipper
accents. It easily holds everything that
I need to transport to and from work. I
have never been much of a bag carrier, but with everything that I must tote
back and forth these days, this bag has been a life saver! My favorite feature is definitely the
insulated pockets. One side perfectly
stores my pump and the other side can be packed with ice packs for transporting
the milk that I pump!

These beautiful bags are definitely a way to “Pump in Style” if
you must return to work after having a baby!
They are high quality, with classic style options, and are definitely
big enough to transport anything and everything you might need! You could even use this bag as your diaper
bag when you are with baby! I would say that this bag would be extremely useful
for all moms, whether you are a working mom, exclusively pumping mom, or any
kind of mom on the go (which, I don’t know of any mom’s that aren’t on the
go!)!

Love that bag and your blog! Didn't know you had a blog until tonight - it's great!
ReplyDeleteI've just been writing for Mommy's Block Party for a couple months! It's a blast so far!
DeleteI was given a pump, but it didn't include a bag so it would be super helpful for me to have something to transfer the pump and all the other accessories in it.
ReplyDeleteI got my pump for free through insurance! So even if I hadn't received this bag for free, I could have justified the price! It's so useful and great quality! I'm looking forward to using it when we go on vacation in a couple of months!
DeleteGreat post! This would be a great thing for the day I go to the office and for traveling to my parents across time.
ReplyDeleteIt really has been a life saver for work! And I'm looking forward to using it when we travel in a couple of months!
DeleteCute bag!
ReplyDeleteIve never had one so Im not sure what I like but this style looks really nice
ReplyDeleteI honestly didn't even know "breast pump bags" exsisted before I had my baby! But this one is so functional! It could even be used as a diaper bag if you weren't pumping!
DeleteI love them both, but I think I'm leaning towards the Rosy Weekend bag.
ReplyDeleteI work in a school setting, so something that doesn't scream "breast pump" would be helpful. Lol.
ReplyDeleteId love to give this to a friend that has a very active lifestyle. this would help her be able to pump and travel more.
ReplyDeleteI like the luxury stripe bag the most.
ReplyDeletea pump bag would make it so much easier for any woman to carry her pump as she travels. this is a busy mom must have! even i as a stay at home mom wouldve loved this just bc its so pretty and any way to feel better about having to pump is a plus. I like that it keeps things organized.
ReplyDeleteI really like the Luxury Stripe style - KAYLAA PREMIUM BREAST PUMP BAG!
