PUMPING WHILE TRAVELING
**Pumping on the Go: Tips for Breastfeeding Mamas 🍼✈️**
Traveling with a little one often means juggling the logistics of breastfeeding on the road. As a breastfeeding mama, I know how challenging it can be to keep up your milk supply while in transit. But with a little planning, you can absolutely make it work!
Here are my top tips for pumping breast milk while traveling:
💼 Pack all your pumping gear in your carry-on, never check it! Having your pump, bottles, and cooler bag with you at all times means you're always ready to pump.
🧊 Invest in a good portable cooler preferably that is attached to your pump bag. At your hotel make sure there is a mini fridge to properly store your milk.
📆 Map out your pumping schedule ahead of time and build it into your itinerary. Set reminders so you don't miss a session.
🚽 Scope out private, clean places to pump at the airport, on the plane, or in your hotel. Airplane bathrooms can work in a pinch.
🤱 Don't be afraid to ask flight attendants or hotel staff for help finding a quiet space to pump. Most are very accommodating.
The key is being prepared and flexible. Pumping on the go takes some extra effort, but it's so worth it to maintain your breastfeeding journey. You've got this, mama!
