Pre‑Trip Checklist
Flying with a wearable pump is easier than you think—just follow this step‑by‑step guide.
1. Pack Like a Pro
TSA allows breast pumps in carry‑ons.
Print the TSA breast‑pump policy to speed inspection.
2. Chill on the Go
Store expressed milk in 5‑oz bags and an insulated cooler.
Once at your destination, follow CDC’s 4‑day fridge / 6‑month freezer rule.
3. Smart Charging
A 2‑hour USB‑C top‑up powers six full sessions—no step‑down converters required.
4. Maintain Routine
Jet‑lag shifts prolactin surges. Stick to your home‑time schedule the first 48 hours, then adjust gradually.
5. Alcohol & Evening Events
Allow roughly two hours per standard drink before your next pump.
Carry pre‑pumped milk to evening functions so you can relax.
