Expressing when out...advice

Hi,

My LO is nearly 8 months old. She gets up at 7am and goes to bed at 7pm. She feeds 5 to 6 times a day.

I'm going out next weekend with my OH (babies daddy) while her grandparents babysit for the day. We're going to London and shopping and having lunch.

I have no friends or family I can visit to use to express. So what else can I do while I'm out? I don't want to screw up my supply or be sore all day.

Thanks :)

Can you hand express during bathroom breaks?

If you have a hand breast pump you can use it in a changing room?

Don't think your supply will get screwed for one day off at this stage. If I was you I'd just express when feeling uncomfy.
Hope you have a lovely day!

Can you go to somewhere like John Lewis breastfeeding room? (Not glam I know but if there is one nearby eg Oxford Street, kings road etc). Think some m & s have them too (separate to the toilets). Hope you have a great day.

John Lewis on Oxford Street used to have a very nice room for breastfeeding. Don’t know if it’s still there?
