[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I pumped and dumped; easier than trying to keep the milk cold. Baby can supplement with formula while you are out of town. Most airports now have "family" or "companion care" restrooms with electric outlets where you can pump, too. I did also get a car adapter for my pump, so I could plug the pump it into a car's cigarette lighter for power. (Bring a nursing cover!) Pumping in the rental car while parked in a dead end between visiting meeting sites wasn't ideal, but it worked. Don't be afraid to tell co-workers, "I need to pump." If you tell them once, they are usually embarassed and won't ask next time you say you need to "take a break". [/quote]

This is kind of lazy.  If I can bring breastmilk back from Malaysia, someone can bring breastmilk back from a shorter trip.  It requires dedication and commitment though, so I guess it's not for everyone.

Agree on the family restrooms though, much better than pumping in a bathroom stall or at the sink.  Also, the showers in the airline lounge are hands down the BEST place to pump at the airport.  [/quote]
