Currently exclusively pumping at home, but returning to work soon and looking for tips and other folks’ set ups to start putting together all the tools I need.

Additionally, looking out a few more months, I’m going to be attending a bachelorette in Mexico for 4 days and am feeling pretty daunted by the idea of pumping and transporting milk back home, all while keeping everything clean and properly chilled. The list of things it seems would be necessary to bring for such an endeavor is longer than the checklist of silly themed outfits and phallicly shaped items required. Open to pumping and dumping but the once I did that to have an afternoon at a winery and maintain supply made me cry, let alone 4 days’ worth and dozens of ounces.

I live near the parade route and am noticing way less spaces have been taped off for families this year. Is this an indication that there will be less attendees? Or are people just slower off the mark/not setting up ahead of time?
