rachel,
i bought my 1st one out when she was 3and half mths, i bring the electric pump, table for sterilizing and just sterilize em in the hotel sink and everything was fine. Just need getting used to.
Also we travel out at 8ish 9,with the milk in the cooler bag, and come back to the hotel to nap at1, then i pump again and then out when e lil one wakes from nap and back to hotel around 8.
I agree with cindy, i find its so much easier to go out during bf,as i can latch on as and when.
I travelled every fw mths with my no 1, and by the time she starts semi solid when we were in taipei,its such a hassle,as i gotta bring the portable cooker to make her porridge,and have to bring cutleries for her .
With no2, now i also latch on with a normal blanket,sometimes whn i am lazy to dig out the nursing cover!
I dread when my babe eats solid again,as i have to mince,cook,mash everthing. Its so much easier now that they just drink breastmilk.
2nd time mom syndrome,cos we have seen it all. When i train my no1 to eat herself when she turned 1, i have to place a big cloth, or disposable canvas mat below the high chair as she ll fling her food all over. luckily it only lasted 2mths, and she fed herself at 15mths,amen.
And alot of my sahm has told me that if no1 eats everything,not with no2,and my no1 is easy with travelling,sleeping anywhere and eating anything,but no2 has shown sign of not being able to sleep properly except at home. finger cross.
Mum when the babe gets bigger, i recommend a cloth harness seat ,called baboz, i find it really good when we travel to places that cant find high chair easily.
