If you ebf and travel for work....

And have to deal with flights, airports, layovers, hotels.... What are your tips and tricks for pumping and storing your milk on the go?

For storage, I have a medela pump with a small cooler in it, but will need something bigger if I'm gone for a long day or more. Any recommendations for cooler storage? Also, what do you do if you only get a mini fridge in a hotel room - how do you adequately refreeze ice packs for the return trip home with all your milk?

Re: If you ebf and travel for work....

i spent 4 days in atlanta while i was bfing dd. i had a mini fridge in my room where i kept the milk. i asked the hotel to freeze the ice packs in their freezer so they were cold enough for my trip home. they had no problem doing that - they just labeled them with my name and room and i picked them up before i checked out so i could back up my cooler bags.

the flight was short enough that i didnt pump on the plane. i tried to time it so i pumped in the comfort of my hotel room, but occasionally i pumped in a bathroom stall

i packed had 2 cooler bags that i flew home with. i had a few large bottles filled with milk and also the storage bags
