International Work Trip

DrMyrWife

I am taking a trip next week for work to Canada. Sunday to Wednesday - I am doing an overnight flight so that I can be back sooner (Wednesday morning v. Wednesday evening).

I really wanted to bring my baby who is 3 months old, but with the high cost of plane tickets and a full itinerary, it is probably best to leave him at home with his nanny and DH.

I'm going to bring my pump, so I don't lose my supply. Has anyone been away from their baby and still maintained supply?? Any tips? How do I pump in an airport? I have a Medela double electric pump.

I do not plan to keep any of the milk since it might be a big hassle, and I have a decent freezer stash. I also don't feel like I will be able to keep the milk cold during transit as I will be travelling 13-14 hours.

Any tips or advice?

PS Do you think I made the right choice in not bringing my baby?
