My first trip I got a clogged duct. My second trip I had a delayed flight and had to pump in an airport bathroom. And most recently I traveled abroad and discovered my pump wouldn't work in Europe with the AC adapter! Thank goodness the front desk at my hotel had a dictionary so I could explain "battery" to them and they sold them there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/to-the-breast-feeding-working-mamas-go-travel#post-1796385 Sun, 03 Aug 2014 20:53:22 +0000 Meltini 1796385@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Agreed. I only had to do it once and it was rough. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/to-the-breast-feeding-working-mamas-go-travel#post-1796318 Sun, 03 Aug 2014 20:06:48 +0000 marionberry 1796318@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Corduroy: I forgot my parts on my first work trip too! It was a horrible experience.<br /> @Dagny: I had to go on two 3 day trips while I was breastfeeding and I swear that both really inhibited my flow later on. I will do my best to avoid traveling while breastfeeding next time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/to-the-breast-feeding-working-mamas-go-travel#post-1796161 Sun, 03 Aug 2014 17:39:48 +0000 Dagny 1796161@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@CORDUROY - oh my goodness, those sound like some rough trips!! </p> <p>@PURPLEPEONY - I'm so sorry to hear that - I'm totally there with you. I felt like such a downer before this trip - I just kept saying to DH 'I don't want to go!'. I'm on the plane right now and I just left the bathroom where I pumped and came out to find a huge line of unhappy people. :( Oh well! I'm also sad because this is the first time that I won't have enough breast milk for LO (15 mo). I know I've been so lucky for him to have been fed on demand this long, but it was still a rotten feeling. I hope your work trip isn't too long! </p> <p>@T.H.O.U. - you are right, it is totally worth it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/to-the-breast-feeding-working-mamas-go-travel#post-1796069 Sun, 03 Aug 2014 15:38:08 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1796069@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree I only has a few work trips while pumping and I think only two that involved flights. It's tough for sure but totally worth it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/to-the-breast-feeding-working-mamas-go-travel#post-1796047 Sun, 03 Aug 2014 15:23:38 +0000 PurplePeony 1796047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm about to board a plane in a couple minutes and I'm feeling very down. I don't want to go! I pumped on the way to the airport do I could send one more bottle home with DH... Sucks. :sad: I'm just looking forward to getting home on Thursday morning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/to-the-breast-feeding-working-mamas-go-travel#post-1796020 Sun, 03 Aug 2014 14:31:35 +0000 Corduroy 1796020@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only had two work trips while I pumped. I forgot my pump parts on the first trip and got a clogged duct on the second. Hats off to the traveling mamas! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/to-the-breast-feeding-working-mamas-go-travel#post-1796015 Sun, 03 Aug 2014 14:22:04 +0000 Dagny 1796015@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You are rockstars! I am traveling for the second time for work and I can't tell you how much I despise business travel and pumping! I don't know how you do this on a regular basis. </p>
