WFMW: Stop Washing Bottles

So I've got a baby girl around these parts.  Most of you know that.  She's pretty cute, and I talk about her pretty much all the time.  Like, a lot.  Seriously, though, can you blame me?

See??  Super cute.
My gosh, I just want to pinch her and snuggle her and smooch her and...
Sorry, got a little distracted.

I'm loving being a mama, fo sho.  Wanna know what I don't love?  Washing dishes.  Never have.  I very nearly paid somebody to wash them for me back in my undergrad days, and my feelings have pretty much not changed at all.  Now that I'm back to work, I have to do this *ahem* pumping thing in order to keep my girl RG fed while I'm gone.  And know what that means?  Double dirty bottles, one type that attaches to the pump, and one type that baby actually eats from.  Not. Cool.

So the other day, I'm hunting on my favorite shopping grounds (aka: amazon.com), and I found these bags that allows mamas to skip the first bottle dirtying, which cuts the dirty dishes in half!  Only problem? They cost 2 or 3 times as much as the regular bags.  But when I looked at them a little closer, I figured out that I could make something similar!  You can, too!  Here's what you do:

You've got your bag, your pump attachment, and some good 'ole scotch tape.

Assemble like so.

Voila!

Word of warning - be careful when the bag is close to full, you don't want to pour out all of your hard work (she said, tearfully, from experience).  Also?  Don't but the ziploc brand bags.  They've got holes, which is a real issue for something that's supposed to hold liquid (she says, irritably, from experience).
