Air Travel w/Breastpump?

Hi ladies, I have to travel for work next week. This will be my first trip by air since my son was born. We nurse 4x/day, so it is essential that I pump and bring the expressed milk home, since this trip will use the rest of my stash. Has anyone traveled by air with her breastpump? Did you carry it on the plane? Do they make you take it out of the bag? What about expressed milk...how did you store it for the trip? Any tips? Thanks!

Medela Freestyle Pump

I am researching breast pumps and recently heard about Medela's new hands-free Freestyle pump. The reviews I have found have been very positive, but there are few out there since it is so new. I will be going back to work full time so definitely will need a double electric pump. Besides the Medela Freestyle, I am also considering the Medela Pump in Style Advanced and the Ameda Purely Yours. Does any one have the Medela Freestyle? Any other advice on the other options I am considering? Thanks so much!

Latch Was Never good;Never Produced a Lot of milk;BFing at Home; Pumping at Work

Hi Moms, My first baby was born via C-section, she is 5 months old. The nurses gave me a nipple shield for latching problems because my body was still on drugs and my nipple didn't protrude enough for her to latch on well plus in a couple of days, I had sore bleeding nipples. So I continued using the nipple shield for about two weeks before weaning her off it. I was at home until she was 4 months old and BFIng was going ok. I never produced a lot of milk(tried every possible herb and tea. I did not try any medication). The max I...
