For people who were away more than. 24 hrs, did you pump and dump? We are going away for around 24 hrs when LO will be 14 weeks and staying in a hotel.. Not sure how to handle logistics of trying to store pumped milk and whatnot.
-
@JoJoGirl: Can you have the hotel put a mini fridge in the room? If you tell them it is for medicine, they have too. We did this when we went to St Thomas last year since mini fridge's weren't in every room at the Ritz. We just wanted it for drinks.
-
@JoJoGirl: I was away from my LO when he was 6 months old. I pumped and saved everything in the fridge at the hotel. It was a PITA to get through security with (allow extra time) but it was worth it!

LO with: husbandi recently went for a quick overnight trip for a bridal shower/bachelorette party. i actually moved up the time of my return ticket because i wanted to be back for bedtime.
