Home Forums Induced Lactation aka Adoptive Breastfeeding Natural Methods to Induce Lactation/Increase Milk Supply Travel with breastpump on airplanes

What has been people's experiences flying and bring their breast pumps. Any hassle going through security check points?

What about pumping on the plane? I have the Limerick and have the battery pack with it. I will be sitting in a window seat and just figure I would pump there. What have others done? I really dislike the bathrooms on airplanes and don't really want to pump in there if I can avoid it. And my daughter will wonder where I am and my freak out a little even though my mom and sister will be traveling with me too.

Thanks.

Hello,

I had the security people look at it and wonder - once I explained what it was they let me pass in a hurry! But keep it out and handy because they will want to see it.

I would definitley recommend pumping in your seat and not the bathroom - too many people knock at the door which makes it stressful and then not much happens! Who cares if people wonder what the sound is (-:

Good luck - where are you flying to?
