Many workplaces are improving accommodations for nursing mothers. Some corporations have designated rooms where mothers can pump in peace. Others have special refrigerators where mothers can store freshly pumped milk until quitting time.

These efforts make it easier for new moms to provide breast milk to their babies. But how exactly do moms get breast milk home from the office?

There are carriers designed to hold bottles in transit. The Cool Wrap Bottle Tote from Munchkin is an insulated carrier meant to keep bottles cool for up to five hours.

The tote has removable gel cooling packs which can be helpful for mothers who don’t have refrigerator access. The tote holds one standard bottle and zips closed. Once closed, the tote resembles any other beverage carrier so moms can enjoy discretion.

The tote has a detachable strap so it can be carried outside the briefcase in case moms prefer to not store breast milk next to a laptop or tomorrow’s briefs. The strap can attach to a briefcase handle or be carried independently.

The tote is $11.99, available at stores such as Amazon.com or Target. A store locator is also available at Munchkin.com.
