Subject: Transport of frozen breastmilk



PTP I received an info request from a nurse regarding a client who is planning to travel by plane (approx. 6 hour flight) with enough frozen breast milk to provide her 6-month old baby while she is on vacation.  I'm not sure how long this vacation is going to last.  I spoke with officials from Transport Canada and the Canadian Air Safety Association and verified that Mom can take frozen breastmilk in cabin of plane with her.  I was going to suggest an insulated cooler bag with ice packs.  Does anyone have any further info on transport of frozen milk ?  Also, Mom says she will pump while on vacation to maintain her supply.  And suggestions for Mom reestablishing feeding at breast upon her return?  Hopefully baby will want to reconnect with Mom but she may not.  Your input is greatly appreciated.
