Norah Breast Pump Backpack (Black)

Norah Breast Pump Backpack (Latte)

OBGYN and first time mother here- Love this bag. Professional and casual in one. Back pack design evens out the burden of the weight. Spectra fits perfectly. I have an aquarelle pumparoo and cold gold as well as a OG+ Ceres for my 24h shifts. My only feedback is I wish it had an external stretchy pocket somehow for a water bottle because with all that in it plus wipes, iPad, wallet, keys, I can’t fit my own water bottle (Owala). Can fit snack in addition but a whole lunch box doesn’t fit. I do recognize that 24h shifts are not as common in other professions but I wish I could live out of this one beautiful big bag for them. It is perfect for a clinic or surgery day with a smaller lunch packed. I agree with other review that it would be nice to have a feature to zip and close off bottom half to not lose little items between the pouches but it isn’t too big a deal. Absolutely love the bag and especially the great zip at the top that holds open. Makes it so easy to use!

It was a divine meeting between myself and the Norah backpack. I had been wondering why it is so difficult to find a work bag with a cooler since the concept is so versatile. I landed on the Norah bag and it is able to hold: Baby Buddha 2.0 pump + parts, wet bag, 16 inch laptop, Cold Gold cooler, snacks, headphones, and a notebook. With the cooler in the insulated pocket, it is a tight fit for sure and I can feel the bulkiness. The straps do a good job of distributing the weight, but if I had a longer walk than five minutes to my car, I would be in trouble for sure. This is strictly a work bag for me because of this. If I could have input on improvements, I would say: the zipper can be very difficult to close when the bag is full, largely because of the upper structure; I wish that the laptop sleeve was not as tapered as it currently is - my laptop just barely fits inside; I wish there was an insert that could prevent items from falling between the two insulated pockets - I've considered sewing buttons inside and just using a piece of cloth as a removable divider; I would love to have chest buckles and again, I have considered sewing them on

Wife raves about the newfound ease of transporting all the pieces necessary to work full time and be a new mom!

This bag has streamlined her daily carry.

I needed a pump bag that I could carry to work with my laptop, paperwork, and everything else I carry. With my Sarah Wells, I was able to replace my former backpack, lunch box, pump bag combo into just one bag.

I’ve owned several Sarah Wells Bags over the years and the Norah might be my favorite one of them all! The size is perfect - not too big to be overly bulky and not so small that it doesn’t fit my needs. I can easily fit both my Spectra and a portable pump in the bag along with my cold gold with a bottle and some milk storage containers. My usual go-to is my Baby Buddha on one side and my dSLR camera on the other when I’m working. It’s also the perfect diaper bag. The backpack straps are incredibly comfortable and are easy to adjust. I also like the tote straps, which make it easy to throw over my arm when I’m carrying multiple things. If you’re looking for a pump bag that’s comfortable to wear and with lots of storage space for pumping and bottle feeding on the go, this is the one you want.

I got the Norah in black and it’s so perfect! Very simple and sophisticated with the metal detailing. I love that all SWB have wonderful customer service and warranties, but this backpack just has so many pockets to stay organized and separate things out. It’s great for staying organized, and the padded straps don’t hurt even after a full morning out and about.

I am in loooove with my Norah! It's been so easy to get out of the house with my everything for my son, my pumps, plus everything I need. I don't need to juggle multiple bags anymore because it truly fits everything!

I got the Norah backpack last November and have been using it for pumping at work since then (1 year). I work in a school as a sign language interpreter and I don’t have an office where I would feel comfortable leaving my pumping equipment and milk. This backpack allowed me to carry EVERYTHING I needed all day every day! In my bag I always had my Pumpables SuperGenie pump, extra pump parts (in case something broke), pump charger, Pumparoo that held my flanges, my Ceres Chill (OG size), sometimes a canned drink (coffee, Alani Nu, Celsius), bag with electrolyte powders, lipsticks, mints, mini fan, snacks, a folder with work papers inside, an iPad, and a small book (as well as some other smaller random things). This backpack has been incredible and I couldn’t recommend it enough!! Honestly there isn’t anything I could complain about with it at all. It’s still going strong and I plan on using it for a long time!
I’ve also used it on many roadtrips, a vacation, and at conferences. It’s worked beautifully for all those times as well!

The fact that this diaper bag can hold both my spectra s1 and handheld pumps is amazing! It’s so comfortable to wear and the color is beautiful.

I carried my Ceres chiller, Spectra pump, work laptop, other things in my bag for my entire pumping period. It was awesome. After I stopped pumping, I continued using this awesome bag! I still use it. I use the (insulated) pump pocket for my lunch with ice packs, and the pocket I used to keep my chiller in, I keep my coffee flask. It does NOT look like a pumping bag, and now I don't need to carry a separate lunch bag.

I was looking like a pack mule with all the bags I had to carry in and out of the house every day for work. This backpack combines everything, and even leaves a little space for more. I would classify it as the size of a traditional school backpack, maybe a little wider. The side pockets perfectly fit my cold gold cooler in one and my Elvie OGs with spare parts in the other (it also fits my spectra if I'm using that instead). The large front pocket holds my small purse, plus other random essentials. The inside holds my laptop, wet bag, pump bags, ceres chiller (I've fit two in at once), and more if I need it! It's very comfortable to wear and the quality is perfect. The zippers are so satisfying. It's a really quality piece. I'm officially a Sarah Wells fan!!

I returned to work 2 weeks ago and purchased this bag right before my return. Originally I wanted a tote bag because my diaper bag is a backpack but I thought that it would be too heavy to carry all my pump parts and my work things in a tote bag. This bag is the perfect alternative because it has handles to be carried like a tote and straps to be a backpack.

So far the bag has been amazing since I need to run to a different building on campus to go to the pumping room and I need to carry all my things with me. I would highly recommend this bag to any mother returning to work.

One improvement (but I still think it's 5 stars) could be adding a removable separator between the bottom of top of the bag for when you are using the pump & cooler pockets. My things slip down inbetween the pockets and sometimes I have difficulty getting the cooler back in and will need to make sure things have not fallen down and are blocking the pocket.

The bag is exactly what I needed. As a mom who is also a nurse it can easily become my work bag and can fit my lunchbox as well. So helpful to not carry 3 bags into work anymore. Also just did a weekend away and I could fit 3 pumping sets and my milk chiller without issue. At 6 months breastfeeding I'm so glad I made the purchase and it is helping me continue going!

I absolutely love my Norah backpack. It fits everything I need to pump and my work stuff!! So happy to be able to carry just one bag around.

I love this bag so much. I was carrying 2-3 different bags to work every day and this has made it so I only carry one! The pumping compartment fits my Spectra S2 and the other compartment fits my cold gold cooler perfectly. Sometimes I close the larger compartment and put my Willow 3.0 in it’s carrying case inside, which also fits well. I love that I still have room inside for my kindle, stethoscope, etc and I can keep spare parts and storage bags in the front pocket!

Great quality, tons of pockets for all things pumping and packing!

I bought my Norah in Latte the day she originally released. I had several other bags already, but I wanted a lighter neutral color that was better structured for my needs at that time compared to my Kelly.

Norah has been well used during this time and although there are a couple of stains I cannot get out no matter how hard I try, she is in really great shape for everything she has been through. The 2 side pockets easily fold up to get out of the way for mom’s working needs when no kids are around. All of the pockets allow me to be easily organized with so much space for all my needs even as a pumping mom of 6 now. Just like every other bag I have bought I have not been disappointed because they last through everything no matter the challenge. I highly recommend Norah if you need the space and the easy carry of a backpack.

So functional and cute! I get so many compliments on this bag and it is so helpful as a working mom!

I prefer a backpack when using public transit to commute to and from work, so I was glad to see that Sarah Wells now has some. The Norah is roomy with useful compartments, including one for your laptop. The breastmilk cooler fits right in, and on the other side, there is plenty of room for your pump (I used to bring my Spectra back and forth, but since another generous momma has given me theirs, I have a spare. Now I just bring three sets of pump parts and cleaning materials, which fits easily in the pocket). The "doctor bag" design is definitely useful, and so are the hand straps in case you need to carry it that way on a crowded train. And the bag itself looks lovely and professional. I plan to use this bag long after my breastfeeding journey ends.

Norah Backpack (Black)

Functional pocket and storage wise. Feels somewhat cheaply made. The straps and outside of the bag show wear very easily even though the bag is black. It’s also very hard to clean and get milk smell out of if milk spills. Lots of fraying around the seams. Would have hoped to be able to use for more than one pregnancy given the cost but Will definitely have to find something else next time

Norah Backpack

great bag! so much more room than my skip hop of a similar design. also shoulder straps are padded so way more comfortable. only complaint is I wish the front pocket has more compartments /sections.

I purchased a pump bag on Amazon for cheap for going back to work. I contemplated just spending the money and getting the Norah, and I’m so happy I did! Such great quality and so much room for all the pumping things and the work things. Can’t wait to start using it!

I was hesitant to spend this much money on a bag but it does not disappoint. It fits all of my pumping stuff (spectra s1) and my work stuff for the day. It’s super cute and I love all the extra pockets and laptop space. Worth the extra money FOR SURE!

Such a great bag- the material is high quality and it fits so much inside. Because of the way it’s divided up it’s so easy to keep all my things organized. I’m so glad I purchased this bag and I definitely would recommend to others.
