Hello, I was wondering if anyone had used the medela battery pack while traveling and how long did the batteries last. The manufacturer states 3 hours of pumping, but I want an actual person who has experienced the battery pack to let me know if that is true (I don't want to get stuck with no pumping power). I will be going to Venezuela for Cristmas and will need to pump at least three times during the trip (airport or plane bathrooms). So about an hour and a half or 2 hours of pumping (if I need to pump four times). Thanks in advance for your help!
You know, I never used the battery pack, I always used the ones that you plug into the wall, but as a suggestion take it or leave it, buy more batteries just in case. Better safe than sorry. I do know that Medela is the strongest breast pump that they make, (I know that through my own testings and through lots of resources) so, I will also throw out to you that if you do not normally pump then expect your breasts to get confused about how much milk to produce. Just be careful to measure out exactly how much you need, otherwise you'll be going through the large breast that squirt everywhere all over again!
get an extra battery. trust me on this
