Long weekend break in Legoland expressing query

8 replies

We are off to legoland in a couple of weeks. I have 3 DDs (10,8, 10weeks)
I'm breastfeeding my DD3 but I express twice a day to keep my supply up as it has been a bit low. Fenugreek seems to upset her tummy so I stopped it and find expressing is helping a bit.
We are staying in a premier inn and it doesn't have a fridge so I'm worried I won't be able to express whilst I'm away....I don't want to pour it away!
I give it to her at her bed time feed after she's had my boobs as they run dry/empty after about 1-2 mind each side. If I express during the night after her night feed, I put it in the fridge ready for the following night. I then add to it during the day to make enough up for a feed at bedtime. I don't think this will be possible whilst I'm away. Any ideas? It'll be fri-Sunday night we are away so 3 days.

Could you ask if they would keep it in their big fridge?? Or a cool bag with lots of ice blocks. I think if you didn't open it until you needed the milk it might stay cold but, having said that, it's probably not really worth risking it,

I'd pump to keep the supply but then dump it and top up with ready made formula instead.

I'm sure they would let you use the hotel fridge. Otherwise wouldn't risk it in this heat. Hope you have an excellent time.

Ask them for a mini fridge in the room. Try usually have them for insulin dependant diabetics! We stay in LOTS of premier inns!!

I just had a live chat discussion with the hotel we are staying in. It's a holiday inn, not premier inn 😂 shows how much I know!
Anyway, they're going to try to get a fridge into my room, it's a first come first served thing apparently! But if they can't manage that I can use their hotel fridge
Do I sound paranoid when I say I'm scared it could be tampered with if I put it in a fridge I don't control, as in if it goes in their kitchen fridge or reception fridge anyone could put something in it!

Honestly no one is putting anything in. Kitchen staff really are far too busy and they wont even know its there. They go into the fridge, get the thing they need then leave. I worked in a hotel reception and often put guests stuff in the main fridge (ice packs, special snacks, half wedding cakes). Itll be fine.

Thank you napqueen. I'm a worrier!
