The world is your oyster, even with a newborn in tow. With a little planning and preparation, you can continue to breastfeed your baby while enjoying all that the world has to offer. Here are some top tips for traveling while breastfeeding:

1. Plan ahead:

• Know your rights: Familiarize yourself with the breastfeeding laws in your destination country. In many countries, it is illegal to discriminate against breastfeeding mothers in public places.
• Research your accommodations: Look for hotels or Airbnbs with designated breastfeeding areas or private rooms where you can pump or nurse.
• Pack smart: Bring along a comfortable nursing bra, a nursing cover, and a breast pump if you plan to pump. Momcozy’s hands-free breast pump is a great option for travel as it is lightweight, portable, and whisper-quiet.

2. Breastfeed on the go:

• Find a comfortable spot: Look for a quiet, private place to nurse your baby. Parks, cafes, and museums are often good options.
• Use a nursing cover: If you feel self-conscious about breastfeeding in public, use a nursing cover to provide some privacy.
• Be patient: It may take your baby a little longer to latch on if you are in a new environment. Be patient and try to relax.

3. Pump and store your milk:

• Pump regularly: If you are away from your baby for more than a few hours, you will need to pump to maintain your milk supply. Momcozy’s hands-free breast pump is perfect for pumping on the go.
• Store your milk properly: Store your expressed milk in a cooler bag with ice packs. You can also store it in the freezer for up to six months.

4. Stay hydrated and eat healthy:

• Drink plenty of fluids: It is important to stay hydrated while breastfeeding, especially when traveling.
• Eat a healthy diet: Eating a healthy diet will help you maintain your milk supply and keep your energy levels up.

5. Take care of yourself:

• Get enough rest: When you are traveling, it is important to get enough rest. This will help you cope with the stress of travel and keep your energy levels up.
• Take breaks: Take breaks throughout the day to rest and relax.

6. Advocate for yourself:

• Don’t be afraid to ask for help: If you need help breastfeeding in public, don’t be afraid to ask for help from a flight attendant, restaurant staff, or other mothers.
• Know your rights: If you are discriminated against for breastfeeding in public, know your rights and stand up for yourself.

7. Enjoy the journey:

• Traveling with a baby can be stressful, but it can also be a lot of fun. Take some time to relax and enjoy the experience of bonding with your baby in a new place.
