Human milk is a biological product.
Check with the USDA.
It might be thrown in the garbage when you get back home.

We haven't checked on that yet. Staying at Coz Palace

They have a toll-free weekday number, or email address. Some hotels charge a few bucks a day, some have them standard, and some don't have them.

Don't bet that TSA rules will apply in Mexico.

Correct! Leavimg Mexico, the local security company uses their own rules to meet TSA standards, and details vary greatly. Liquids get tossed frequently. Spare batteries are often kept too.

Yep, Customs and the USDA inspectors may cause problems.

Really, if the baby is not going, why do you need to bring back milk when mom-the-producer comes home? Keep pumping so that the breasts will continue to produce maybe, but discard product. By the time you get home from your return flight, won't mom be ready to nurse at full schedule?

And then I had a dream about teaching orphaned calves to nurse again. It's been a long time tho, and besides - I really don't know much about women, so I could be wrong.

I can see many challenges in trying to fly momma's milk, but depending on what mom's doctor says - just start nursing again when she gets home.

All women are different, and she may not produce enough at the times the baby eats that she doesn't also have to bottle feed with pumped milk from other times. Hence the "breastmilk is like gold".

I'd agree that importing it might be difficult through customs though, so it might need to be tossed anyway. I'd check with that before going to all the trouble to store it on vacation and ship it- but I completely understand not wanting to throw it away. I know very few women who EVER throw away breastmilk, no matter how much they produce.

There is a minibar fridge that's usually filled with beer, sodas, juices, and water.

Good point! Never to soon to start the kid on a little cervesa.

Our newborn son was a hoover and demanded a lot from his mother, so much that when his needs were fulfilled the "factory" was in full production.

We froze the surplus and donated it to our children hospital's milk bank.

There it was used to feed premature babies. Breast milk can be frozen.

It might help to freeze it when transportingt, still I would check with authorities,

could be more trouble than what it's worth.

We found a who tsa page devoted to this, they do allow you to bring it thru. Packed with dry ice even.

The he reason we need it so badly is because our little boy is really going to burn thru our stash while we are away. The stash of frozen milk is important cause we want to have him on a partial diet of that stuff until he's 1 year old, but the stuff isn't being produced fast enuf by that time. This is just what I understand anyway. I try not to ask too many questions about this stuff, better to stay silent and carry out the orders.
