  Could you give your LO the frozen a day or so before you leave and take fresh from the replaced feeding?  This is what I always did and it worked out great.

  uconnhuskie007:

  Its worth noting that you mention freezing so you can relax a few days....if you don't nurse or pump those nights that you're gone, then your supply will significantly decrease, if not disappear all together.nbsp; Just throwing that out there.nbsp; nbsp;

  
  
  This. You'll still have to pump, which isn't exactly relaxing.
  
  To answer your question though, check Kellymom.com for freezing and thawing guidelines. You really don't have to keep it frozen at all if you plan to use it within a certain amount of time.

  I'm not sure if you're flying or not, but I've flown with frozen bm plenty of times. If you want to carry it on, just pack it with some ice packs and they just have to check it when you go through security (wipe something on the outside). I've also checked it in my luggage with a bunch of ice packs. Just put a plastic bag around it in case there is any condensation. I moved when my little guy was 3 months and had a lot of bm in the freezer that I didn't want to waste... this worked fine. Good luck!
