How do you travel with pumped breast milk so it doesn’t go bad? Going to visit family without the baby and not sure how to bring pumped milk home safely. Just a two hour flight but total travel time from home to home is maybe 7 hours or more?

You can also get ice from a restaurant in the terminal or the flight attendant. So, ice packs in the car (then those melt). Ice from airport for flight duration. Ice from home airport for drive home (if needed).

I agree. I brought a mini cooler with ice packs. The ice packs MUST be frozen (not thawed) or TSA won't let them through since they somehow count as liquids when they're thawed. I got extra ice from the waiter/waitress in the terminal and the flight attendants on the flight to make sure the milk was extra cold throughout the trip.

I travelled home from a vacation in Europe with a 1 week’s worth of pumped breastmilk. I froze it in small amounts (3oz bags) laying flat, bought an insulated cardboard cooler and ordered for dry ice to be delivered to my hotel room the night before my flight. And when you pack the cooler, use newspaper to fill the rest of the box if it’s a little big as newspaper helps it to stay cold. Then you just seal it tightly and mark it “human milk” (or “breastmilk”) and you are allowed to check it free of charge when flying.

On top of ice packs freeze whatever milk you can.

Yeti cooler and ice packs. Will stay ice cold

This merger blows. SPG had a legit no blackout policy but Marriott says they do no blackout but they have inventory control which is essentially the same shit. Such deceptive tactic. 😡😡

We were going to go on a hike and had a hotel booked for a night. Texted him 5 min before arrival and when i was there to pick him up. He hopped in the shower. I got annoyed that he did that because i communicated beforehand to be ready. He didnt like that and said that he thinks that i think my time is more important than his... he canceled the trip and we are not speaking because of this incident... Am i crazy or something?

Hi all, I’m looking to re-enter the workforce. I had to take a career pause @ the beginning of the pandemic because I had a child.

I’d like to make a slight pivot into a health informatics, clinical data or data analytics position but I’m also open to non clinical research positions like regulatory/quality assurance etc. Does anyone have any recommendations?

I want to brag on my kid, but I don’t want to embarrass him, so I’m doing it here. My college sophomore found out today that he ended up with a B in his accounting class - which is remarkable, given that he received a 50 on his first exam and a 70 on his second. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen him work this hard - and I couldn’t be more proud. The grades that come easily don’t impress me nearly as much as the ones that are hard fought.

EY 🐠 - potentially starting with the firm soon, and my partner is due to have our first in April. Given the 1 year service requirement for leave, would I have the option to take PTO during birth and use parental leave after my 1 year of service? Appreciate any guidance here

So I have completely lost interest in my area of practice mainly because I haven’t been exposed to many matters (our team is really slow) and I am the most junior in the team. So billable work is never constant. I feel like this has impacted my interest and stagnated my growth. I am thinking of moving into a different area of practice that I’m interested in. Has anyone ever done this? I’m actually depressed and I really hate being given work now. I have ADHD. Please advise
