We are going on a 1 week vacation, flying to get to our destination. I am wondering if its worth it/necessary to drag my pump and dump or transport the milk. My son is EBF and we've never had a problem with supply. I pump once a day to build up a stash and generally get 3 - 5 ounces. If he takes a bottle, I may or may not replace that with an additional pumping session depending how much I pumped that day. I have gone a day or two without pumping at all. (I pump in the morning and on an odd day I may just crawl back into bed.)
My sense is I could drop the pumping session while we are on vacation and build back up when we get back. This would save ourselves the challenge of lugging a pump, storing and/or transporting milk, etc. We'll have about a month between when we get back and my return to work, so I feel like we have some time to increase production before I have to switch over to mostly pumping.
Curious if anyone has any advice or thoughts.
Thanks!
