Stay productive, stay nourished — and keep your milk safe on the go.
Returning to work after having a baby can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re determined to continue breastfeeding. The good news? With the right pumping schedule, support, and storage tools (like the DISONCARE Portable Breast Milk Cooler), you can make it all work — calmly and confidently.
🍼 1. Why a Pumping Schedule Matters
A consistent schedule helps your body maintain milk supply even when you’re away from your baby. Regular expression keeps milk production steady and prevents discomfort or blocked ducts.
For most working moms, that means pumping every 3–4 hours during the workday, or about 2–3 times between leaving and returning home.

🧊 3. How to Store Milk at Work
Freshly expressed breast milk can stay safe for several hours at room temperature, but cooler storage is always best when you’re not at home.
Storage Guidelines (per CDC):
| Storage Type | Safe Duration |
|---|---|
| Room temperature (up to 77°F / 25°C) | 4 hours |
| Cooler with ice packs (≤ 59°F / 15°C) | Up to 24 hours |
| Refrigerator (≤ 40°F / 4°C) | Up to 4 days |
| Freezer | 6 months (best used within 3) |
