Breastfeeding

Going on short trip without bringing our baby

I am currently breastfeeding & formula-feeding my son. My husband & I are planning to go on a short trip without bringing our child. I don’t want to completely cut off breastmilk from my son. My concern is how will I sustain my milk supply without pumping during the trip? How do I face the breast engorgement without expressing? Should I bring my breastpump? But what do I do with the milk then? Will my milk supply will be the same once i’ve return from my trip? #advicepls #sos #firsttimemom #firstbaby

Yes you should still continue pumping otherwise it will signal to your body that you no longer need to produce milk. confirm will have engorgement without expressing, you should bring your breast pump. Have to throw the milk or use it to bathe yourself, can’t store. Milk supply will maintain if you maintain the frequency of bf and latching.
