I'm not producing enough to keep up with DS. We've been supplementing with frozen BM during the day and before bed- probably 10oz per day. We're going on vacation next month and I'm starting to stress about how we'll transport BM with us. We're driving from NY to NC. Our plan is to leave Friday at dinner time then stop somewhere overnight, finish the trip on the next day. We're staying at a beach house so we'll have access to a freezer once we get there. I'm worried that it will defrost and then go bad before the end of the week. Am I over thinking this? How do you manage traveling with frozen BM?
Re: Traveling with frozen breastmilk ?
Could you get your hands on some dry ice? Otherwise I would refresh the ice as often as you can. I did that with travelling from NY to ME and it worked out.
I read somewhere that as long as it doesn't fully thaw you're good, but I don't know how true that is. I would check kellymom.com.

I'm not keeping up with what he drinks. As of right now, I'm nursing him in the morning and he's getting enough. He gets a bottle of pumped milk from the day before at 11am. At 3 he gets a bottle of frozen milk. I nurse him before bed and then give him an extra 4oz while reading books. I would need 10oz minimum per day while we're away. I don't think I'll be able to pump that much for him....
