Left my Medela bag with everything in parking lot!

[flashy09]

My Freestyle pump, charger, all parts, Dr Brown bottles, freezer pack with two milk bottles, Kindle Kozee warmer, and my cute bottle insulator got left in the parking lot of a Subway during a road trip. Called and it's not there. I feel sick and so mad at myself. I really hope a struggling mother took it and is now pumping for her baby at work and her gassy baby is enjoying the fancy bottles and silly expensive bottle warmer, lol. I actually really do. Hopefully it's not some jerk that took it without turning it in just for the heck of it or to try and sell!

I'm so sorry. That is so frustrating, I know. It happens to everybody though, I think some some point or another.

And I know how you feel hoping somebody needy is using it and appreciating it. My cousin made me a baby blanket for each of my kids. The one for Gator was pretty special. Well, one time I had to take Gator out when it was below zero. He was only a few months old and so I brought this nice cozy blanket to put on him in the car until the car warmed up. When we got to our destination I left the blanket in the car. Apparently I forgot to lock the door because when we got back out to the car, the blanket was gone. It was a sketchy part of town so I guess I wasn't totally surprised something was stollen. But I have always hoped that another mother had a child who was cold and got desperate and took it. I hope it was appreciated. It had an Elmo pattern on it.

If I were you I'd try calling the Subway on a different day to talk to someone else. Maybe they saw it or heard a other employee talking about it.

Oh noooooo! I would feel exactly the same way.

I had wondered why you took it on the trip but that beyond sucks that it ended up like that!! I'm sorry!

Oh no! Are you passing through there on the way back? One time I left my camera in the bathroom of a fast food restaurant, and called and they said it wasn't there. A friend of mine happened to be driving through that town later that night, and stopped in, and lo and behold, they had it! So it may be a long shot, but don't give up. Honestly, I think most guys would see that and think WTF? So maybe if it really was taken, it was by a mom.

Just to have bottles so I could leave her with my husband at times. Also since she has started sleeping at night I have to pump once or I can't sleep. Or I give her a bottle if we drink wine with dinner. My milk tests positive after one glass (I weigh 100 lbs) and even though a little is supposed to be ok here and there I worry (off the charts nervous in general!)

No! It's in the middle of nowhere as well. I intentionally picked an unpopulated area so I could feed her and walk around after and get the burps out. Came back to change her diaper and put the bag on the ground so I could use the seat to change her. Somehow never put it back in. So dumb. I bet someone grabbed it without even checking what was inside. Hope they feel guilty!
