"It is a great time to travel when your new bundle of joy is right in your arms, and breastfeeding because your baby is with you is really great! \u00A0\r\nNow, the hard part, if you are travelling and pumping and working?!!\r\nOur friend Jessica Shortall has writen an excellent book, part mom story, part 411, from her wild travel experiences working for TOMS (yes the famous shoe company). \u00A0\r\n\u00A0You can buy her book at Amazon or many other places.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u00A0\r\n\u00A0Here is the link to her info-graphic\r\nBelow is the text of her info-graphic on breastfeeding + pumping while travelling/working.\r\n\u00A01.\u00A0Call ahead\r\n\r\n\r\nCall the client office, conference center, or venue where you'll be spending time. Find a friendly person and straight-up tell them you're breastfeeding and need their help identifying a private place to pump, and a fridge to store milk.\r\n\r\n\r\n2. \u00A0Prepare for the airport\r\nPack your individual breast pump parts in ziploc bags in case the TSA worker wants to inspect them. \u00A0Minimize your carry-ons, because you'll have a bag or cooler full of milk on your way home. \u00A0\r\n**Print this TSA provided link that says you're allowed to travel with a pump and as much breastmilk as you want.\r\nhttps://www.tsa.gov/traveling-formula-breast-milk-and-juice\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n3. \u00A0Learn to pump in a bathroom\r\n\r\n\r\n\u00A0Family restrooms are the best because they have outlets and counters and sinks. But in a bind, you can use your pump's battery pack and stand in a stall with the pump bag hung on the door hook. Throw the pump parts in a Ziploc and worry about washing them later.\r\n4. Hotel\r\n\r\n\r\nIf they won't give you a fridge, say \"FOR MEDICAL REASONS\" until they cave. If they make you use the minibar, tell them that you expect not to be charged for moving stuff out of there. And if there just is no fridge, demand access to a kitchen fridge for your \"medicine.\" Get the location of this fridge in writing so you can help the morning shift-worker find it when you check out.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nSupplies List-\r\n- Reusable, lined lunchbag (for bringing milk home) for 1-2 day trip\r\n- Soft-sided 6-pack cooler for 3-7 day trip\r\n- Lots of large, slider-top Ziploc bags\r\n- More breastmilk storage bags than you think you'll need\r\n- Gel ice packs (in a pinch, get a flight attendent or airport bartender to put ice in some empty breastmilk storage bags)\r\n- A big shawl in case you need to pump somewhere less-than-private\r\n\r\n\r\n\u00A0-\u00A0Book: Work.
