I usually get up around 3:30am to pump. My hubby and I have a system worked out that if the baby gets up before 3:00 he tends to her and anything after 3:00 I do so. One night last week the baby woke up at 3:02. My watch by 2 minutes. So I prepped and fed her. We both fell asleep in our chair when I woke up to the booby alarm around 4:00am. I put the babe down, walked myself over to the bed, eyes closed strapped on the bustier, connected the cones and tubing and turned on the pump. I then slumped into a rhythmic sway. After a few minutes I felt something wet on my robe. Damn. I reached for the bottles to see if they were tightened or perhaps I'd already filled them up when I realized the sound was a splash splash instead of a squish squish. I had forgotten to attached bottles to the cones! There was milk all over my robe, my bed, the floor, the night stand. What a sticky mess. Plus, the boobs don't shut off when you shut down the machine. You must finish the job!
Now, I always attach the bottles to the cones before I go to bed. :)
