Resources for Breastfeeding Parents (and Supporters)
We are so excited to share these tips and resources to help you navigate travel as a breastfeeding parent! When you travel with breast milk, we always recommend giving yourself extra time at the airport so that if any issues arise, you have time to work through them (e.g. to call TSA Cares for help or undergo extra security screening).
Remember, MOST parents experience no issues when flying with breast milk. However, it is good to know your rights and what to expect so that you can advocate for yourself if needed.
As you prepare, check out this tips on our new page and follow Sarah Wells Bags collaborator and travel resource partner, Carrie-Ellen, on Instagram @TravelBoundMom

Hi mama,
We may not have met, but I completely get what you're feeling right now, so I put these guides together for you. I also wanted to write you a note of encouragement and support.
For when you feel like you are tethered to a machine that also kind of feels like it may or may not be sucking the life out of you.
I want you to know that what you are doing matters. So. Much.
Every pump is an expression of love into a bottle. You are completely incredible.
Motherhood should not be defined by this one thing, just like the rest of your parenting journey won't likely be about a single event or choice, but a series of experiences that add up to a wild and wonderful journey.
My wish is that these guides will help answer your questions and make you more confident in your pumping journey.
XOXO ~
BRAND NEW RESOURCE!
