random flying/breast feeding question

especially for those of you who nursed your twins.

I am flying to Florida in 2 weeks and I am nursing still. I need my breastfriend pillow but it is HUGE!

Did anyone travel with one? or any ideas of how I could nurse my 6 month old twins at the same time without it?

Re: random flying/breast feeding question

i BF my twins, but stopped before our first flight so i dont have any advice for you on that, but i wonder if you will be able to BF both at the same time anyway? airlines only allow 1 infant per row bc of the # of oxygen masks...
we flew to FL when the twins were 6 months and my DH and i had to sit across from each other bc we couldnt have 2 infants in the same row. and i just booked tickets to FL again for later this summer and they wont allow the twins in the same row again. this is with jetblue, maybe its just that airline??

That's interesting! We are flying southwest so I wonder if it would be the same. I actually wasn't going to breast feed them together on the plane but was hoping to have my pillow with me while I am at my sisters. I guess I will just have to figure out away to bf them together without the pillow

Any way you can drop it off at the Post Office or a UPS Store before you leave for your flight to ship it down to your sister's house and then ship it back home the morning you leave?

This way you'd only be without it a short time???

Totally crashing, but they will only allow one lap child per side of the row because there are only 4 oxygen masks (3 seats and 1 extra) on most planes that have 3 seats on each side.
