1. Pumps are big and bulky and I have to ask why? I might have to invest in the bag free pump next time.
2. Pumping in an airplane bathroom is not enjoyable. There isn't enough room to begin with much less add a huge bag and bottles, and tubing oh my! Did that!
3. Pumping in an airplane seat... A little easier than the bathroom and way less claustrophobic. Yup - I did that too!
4. Taking breastmilk through security isn't too hard.
5. Taking all the breastmilk you pumped (or could fit) home with you - a pain in the butt!
6. Pumping and dumping makes me want to cry. Do not like it at all - seems like such a waste.
7. It takes way tooooo long to set up the pump and start pumping.
8. Coordinating presentations around a pumping schedule is a challenge.
9. Pumping using the battery pack for power is soooooo slow!
10. People are really nice when tell them you have to pump and need a place to do it. Quite impressed! Late checkouts. Locating family bathrooms. Not letting people kill me on the plane when in the bathroom for 20 minutes.
And lastly...
11. Breastfeeding moms shouldn't have to leave their babies until they are done nursing. Ever! (Unless they want to, but this mama doesn't)
