Traveling with breast milk
I have to travel away from my baby for 2 days. I am EBF, so I plan to pump while I am away. I am trying to figure the best way to store and travel with the milk to bring back? It’s a 6 hour flight and I’m away only for 2 days. Will it be safer to use storage bags or bottles? I can potentially bring them back in an insulated bag with ice packs - but will bags open up because of cabin pressure if I check it in? Any tips will be helpful!!
To be useable, you need to keep it chilled. If at room temperature, it wouldn't last more than a couple of hours. Personally, I wouldn't risk using it to feed, but I would bring it back with me and use it for milk baths or lotion unless you can guarantee it stays at fridge temperature
