Hi,

Just trying to work out what to do- as we are going away for a few days to stay with a family member- it'll take about 10-12hrs to drive there- leaving about 3am Monday morning.

So my problem is that the family member has asked me to go to the movies with here on Tuesday night- she never gets to go and is really looking forward to getting out with me (she has 2 young children & not many friends). Usually up here no problem- i'd be able to leave DH with my 4 month old to either time to leave after a BF or he can give him an expressed bottle (if i've planned well enough) or get out a frozen one (i'd done some a month ago). I hadn't planned on taking any of that stuff, as that'd mean i'd have to take pump, bottle and steriliser- we're already taking a car load. And its not the type movie to take a baby too either.

So i was just thinking- how long can you thaw frozen milk. We will be taking a car fridge/esky that plugs into car- so can keep it cold in there- and could be transferred to fridge or freezes once there- but it wouldn't get drunk til the following night. Would this be ok or not?

Any other suggestions/ideas?

Thanks in advance,
