Traveling with a 4/5 month old

Next week DH and I are going on a trip back home to California. DS is coming with us. DH and I will have a work trip for 3 days of our trip and I am leaving Jackson with my parents. He is exclusively breast fed, and I pump for the most part now because of work. I typically pump between 4-5 times a day and now produce about 10-14 oz per pump depending on how much water I have drank. My question is how much extra milk would you bring? Quantity isn't an issue, I have about 1200 oz in my deep freezer. I have over produced from day 1. Jackson eats about 4-5 oz every 4 hours or so. And how would you transport it? I plan on putting it in a cooler but I don't want it to defrost since then I have to use it with in 24 hours. I plan on pumping the entire time and I know I will have extra milk but I don't want to bank on producing more since I have noticed my supply has gone down since I went to work.

    Google the TSA requirements about frozen milk. I just traveled with my 3 month old and has fresh breastmilk. If its over a certain amount they test it. For frozen you are allowed to bring it along with ice packs I believe and you just have to make them aw
