Why pump, just throw a light receiving blanket over you, and then you won't have to worry about the milk going bad... I never pumped, it was a pain the in the butt... (imo)Found an answer to your question?

ive only breastfed in public twice and i found it to b horrible! first of all i dont have a nursing brra so its hard to ajust my self to feed and i guess b/c im stressed about it baby doesnt stay latched, and then that stresses my out more, and on top of that i dont know why but it embarrasses me

i would put it in the cooler and take it out about 10-15 minutes before i fed the baby so it wasn't so cold.(unless the baby likes cool milk...mine did) GL :)Found an answer to your question?

I totally understand. I was that way with my first. I had to sit int he car with a blanket to feed 'in public'. With my second I was MUCH more open to the idea! At parks I would find a quiet spot near the play area but away from the crown and cover to feed.
If you really feel you need to pump... you would want to put it in the fridge and carry it in a cooler. Once it touched the babies mouth it is good for a couple hours. If is is still in the containers it is good for 5 days (fresh refrigeration) thawed (24 hours) frozen (5 months)

how long do you plan to be at the park? if you feed baby right before going, you should have a couple of hours before he/she will want to feed again. you may not need a bottle at all.Found an answer to your question?
