When my son was three months old, I returned to work. By the time he was four months old, I had a travel job that required me to fly across the country. As an exclusively pumping mom with a strong milk supply, my plan was to pump consistently during the trip to maintain my supply and hopefully bring some milk home for my son towards the end of my trip. Luckily, I had pumped enough milk in advance to cover his needs while I was away, but I didn’t want to waste any milk during my travels. My goal was to bring a couple of bags back to keep my stock up.
