My husband and I are taking our 3 1/2 year old son to Disney by himself and leaving our baby daughter at home with the grandparents for 4 nights at the end of summer. She'll be 8 1/2 months old at the time. I don't plan on weaning her beforehand, and I'll have plenty of frozen breast milk for her at home to make it through the 4 nights I'm away, but I'm trying to figure out if I can bring my pump and keep my supply up enough to still be able to nurse her once we get home. Anyone have any experience or tips for this? We'll arrive on a Thursday and leave on a Monday, so obviously anything I pump early on in the trip I'll have to dump, but how much do you think I can bring on the plane? We are staying in a DVC studio, so we'll have a small fridge in the room.
Any thoughts?? I figured I'd just wean her before the trip, but I'd love to have a pumping plan just in case we're not ready to wean. I nursed my son until he was 13 months and it worked out great for the budget never having to buy formula!
I figure someone on here has done something like this before
