Breast Milk and Biz Travel Don’t Mix

posted in Don't Know What to Make of This, Business Travel, Work-Life Balance, Office Rants |

I can’t wait to hear how this story plays out.  My friend has to travel for work next week and she is still breastfeeding her 4 month old daughter. So, she has to bring her pump to the client, figure out where she’s going to pump at the client and then, the kicker- try to figure out how to bring back a few bottles of frozen breast milk- all within the new travel regulations!!  Will she have to check the milk? Will it stay frozen? Where will she pump at the client or in the airport? Why does the government make it so hard for women to breastfeed while traveling, when they are pro-breastfeeding!?
See how it all turns out next week. Anyone else encounter this? I decided not to breastfeed at all, so I don’t have any experience to draw from on this one.

    Two words: Fed Ex.

    I am not sure of the expense of shipping a small dry ice or cold insulated package through FedEx, but, I am willing to bet the price would be well worth the savings in terms of TSA aggravation.

    Most airports have a FedEx location, and it would certainly be there overnight, and, depending on the departure/arrival cities involved, it might even be sameday.

    Again, Milage may vary, but it might be at least looking into.
