I breastfeed, but then we also supplement with breastmilk (when I can pump enough) and formula. Whenever we are out and about we always supplement with formula, as I'm not quite sure how to travel with breastmilk ...
How do you do so? Do you bring it in a cooler, and if so, does your baby like it cold? Do you bring it room temperature, and if so, how long can it be room temp?
Any other suggestions?
Re: Traveling with Breast Milk Bottles
In general, a nice rule for breastmilk is the rule of 6. 6 hours at room temp, 6 days in the fridge, 6 months in the fridge freezer, 6-12 months in a deep freezer.
I don't travel with breastmilk. I just nurse him, but I know that's not everyone's preference. If your baby likes milk warmish/room temp, I'd just put it into the diaper bag. If I was going for longer than six or eight hours, I'd make sure to chill it with an ice pack or cooler or something (or if it was going to have it out in the heat).
