Top tips for pump and dump please

What’s the best pump and dump strategy? I’ve got my first full day away from my LO in a few weeks for a hen do. I’ve got lots of milk stored for her but not sure how to go about sorting myself out whilst I’m away from her. I’ve got a really good pump but it’s quite loud and only one side at a time. And when do you do it? Do you just go to a toilet for a bit? Advice please.

I exclusively pump, I just do it wherever I am. Mine isn’t noisy though. It’s an elvie stride , just stick in your bra and go. Have to do 1 side then swap to other as I have only a single pump too. Depends where I am whether I swap it in public or go to the toilets to swap sides lol. I can generally do it kinda under my top so people can’t see

If it was me I'd probably aim for as many pumps as baby would normally have in that time. And I'd do one side per pumping session

I'd do what you feel comfortable doing in terms of out and about etc. In terms of no of feeds, pump as many times as your baby would feed and if they usually feed on only 1 side or both sides per feed x
