Dawn suggested that the mother might have more than one set of flanges so
that she would not have to wash/dry the first set between pumpings.....but I
wonder why there would be a problem reusing the same set, if breastmilk can
safely be left "out" for ten hours.......wouldn't it be fine to throw the
flanges into a zip lock bag and use them again later in that same day?
Rinsed or not? (I was in charge of a corporate lactation room for a number
of years and that is what I advised.)
The other thing I thought was important was, since we had more than one
pumping station in our lactation room, to make it clear that there were "two
seats- no waiting...." In other words, I wanted mothers to not have to
feel as if they had to wait for the person already in the room to finish- we
were on time sensitive breaks- so two at once was to be expected and no one
was going to get to have the room "all to themselves."
