Medela Car Adapter

SAY WHAT?! I can pump IN THE CAR! WITHOUT BATTERIES! this is AWESOME!

i got this locally for about 22$ at Babies R Us. ive seen them cheaper online, but BRUs was the only place who carried them locally. it has helped already, and ive only had it less than a week!

i remember years ago when nursing my son (makes me sound old....) i would have to use the batteries in my evenflo pump and the suction wasnt NEARLy as good as it was with the wall adapter. but the car adapter works just fine and plugs right in to the lighter port!

love this. im SO grateful this exists, making breastfeeding and breastmilkfeeding our babies easier :) thanks Medela!

Breastfeeding and Pumping: Anecdote :)

So today my son saw me pumping milk for my daughter.

He is three. and curious. My daughter is only 7 days old and im still slightly engorged and my supply is still all over the place.

here is some of the conversation we had while i pumped.

he sees the pump going and my swollen nips.

"mahmee, are those your fingers?" he asks.

"no baby those are my nipples."

"oh. your nimples. so those nimples are for your boobies?"

"yep."

"oh. ok. hey mahmee. so you put your boobies in there and when you squeeze them the milk comes out?"

"Yes they do. very good buddy."

I realize here that the bottles im using to collect are filling too fast and i try to pour it into a breastmilk bag to contijnue pumping for her meal.

He said "can i put the milk in the freezer for you?"

"i can do it honey thank you."

"no, can i please put it in the freezeR?" i give in.

"do you know where to put it?"

"yeah, with all the other booby milk in the freezer."

TOUCHE!

sometimes he is smarter than i even realize.
