Halp!  I need opinions.

DD and I are flying to visit my parents in a few weeks.  Right now I only pump every other night so that I have enough bm to mix into cereal and I'm debating whether it's worth it to take along the whole pump.

How long are you going for? If you have space I would just take your double. If space is tight I'd get a manual.

I voted option 2 but I think you should try doing the oatmeal mixed with fruits / veggies and waters before you go. DD has no issues whether it's mixed with breastmilk or water.

Just over a week.  I'm flying Southwest, so I could take 2 bags if I have to.

I get stupidly paranoid because 'they' say it should be mixed with bm or formula.  A week of a tiny amount of water won't hurt her and I know this - just needed to hear other ppl say it.

hand express right into whatever you are feeding her, go into another room if you need to

I wouldn't bother with a second bag if you wouldn't have to without a pump. For a week, I'd either just do water with cereal or use the pump you have.

I choce #2, maybe start practicing with water and fruit now?

I voted to use water, but I choose this option instead.  I've done it at home out of pure laziness & hatred for the pump.
