Camping and breast feeding baby.?
One of my best friends is going camping and has a problem. She had nipple problems so she has and is exclusively pumping her milk for her baby (so she can't just feed from the breasts). Her baby is now 6 months old and they are planning to go hiking/camping for 2 days (her all time favorite past time) and they don't and won't have a refrigerator, just a cooler. She's wondering if she can just pump and continually add the pumped milk into one canister & if she can store that pumped milk safely in a cooler full of ice for the 2 days. I have no idea. Also if she has extra left over from the weekend, can she freeze what's left in the canister upon returning home? What do you think?

absolutely. breast milk can even be out in room temperature for a few hours, i think about 6 hours or so just as long as it's not over 25 degrees.

I think it would be fine to use the cooler but only with separate containers for each session. OR better yet couln't she just pump and give the bottle directly to the baby at that point to avoid having to store it??
