The Back to Work Pumping Toolkit: Your Essentials for a Smooth Return to Work
Heading back to work after having a baby can feel like a huge adjustment, especially when you’re juggling expressing, meetings, and family life. Finding time (and space) to pump during the workday can be tricky, but with the right tools and a little planning, it is possible to make it all run smoothly.
Whether you’re in an office, on the road, or working from home, these three Milkbar essentials make up the ultimate Back to Work Pumping Toolkit, helping you express discreetly, store milk safely, and keep your routine simple and stress-free.
1. The Invisi Flow Pump! Pump Discreetly, Anywhere
Say goodbye to hiding or awkwardly juggling cords at your desk! The Milkbar Invisi Flow Wearable Pump gives you complete freedom to express whenever and wherever you need.
It’s lightweight, quiet, and sits discreetly inside your bra, so you can pump hands-free while you work, take a call, or even eat lunch (finally!). It’s designed to fit around your workday, not the other way around.
No outlets, no tubes, no fuss. Just quiet, confident pumping that fits your life.
2. The Insulated Backpack — Stay Organised & Keep Milk Cool
If you’re expressing at work, keeping everything clean, cool, and organised can be half the battle. That’s where the Milkbar Insulated Breast Pump Backpack comes in.
With two spacious compartments, it separates your pump and accessories from your milk storage area , keeping things hygienic and easy to grab between meetings. The insulated bottom compartment keeps your expressed milk cool until you get home, while the top compartment stores your Invisi Flow and spare parts securely.
Lightweight, stylish, and practical, it’s perfect for the commute, and no one will ever guess it’s a pumping bag.
💡 Pro tip: Keep an extra set of pump parts (Collector Shell, flanges, valves, and inserts) in your work bag. Having one set for work and one for home means you’re never caught short if something goes missing, breaks, or needs a clean. A few spare valves are always worth having on hand to keep your suction strong and sessions efficient.

3. The UV Steriliser — Simplify Your Evening Routine
After a full day of work and mum life, the last thing you want to do is stand at the sink scrubbing and boiling parts. The Milkbar UV Steriliser takes care of it all for you, just pop your freshly washed pump parts in, press Auto, and let it do the rest.
In around an hour, everything is sterilised and dried, ready to be packed up & used again the next morning. No more waiting for parts to air dry overnight or rushing to reassemble your pump before work.
It’s the easiest way to finish your day feeling prepared, not overwhelmed.
