Wa'alaikum assalam sis! Okay, I get it, direct feeding to pumping is quite the jump!
So for malam pump, yes kena simpan dalam peti ais (fridge okay, freezer is better if you want to keep longer). Most mums pump every 6 hours or bila baby nk minum; kalau fresh je, boleh simpan 4 hours room temperature, tapi fridge is safer, goes up to 48 hours. If you freeze, boleh sampai 6 months, tapi nak gunakan dalam 1-2 minggu lagi okay jugak.
Kalau keluar rumah, best to pump sebelum you go (boleh 2-3 jam sebelum baby biasa minum), then simpan dalam thermal bag dengan ice pack, yang insulated bottle bag memang membantu tahan temperature, takde kena ada fancy warmer bag pun, ice pack je dah cukup untuk few hours. My friend swears by a good thermal bag dari supermarket saja, way cheaper and it works; she just rotates the bottles in and out. When you nak warm the milk, boleh guna warm water atau bottle warmer at home, 45°C is the sweet spot, not piping hot.
One thing yang tidak sempurna for me, pumping schedules are rigid so you kena disciplined, can be tiring jugak. But banyak mums that juggle both direct and bottle, so it's doable!
Definitely worth checking with your lactation consultant or gynae though, sebab setiap mum and baby different. All the best, mom!
