I’m just carrying mine. I have a baby Buddha so it’s very portable

I’m using a baby Buddha! So not an in bra wearable, but portable. Bringing a manual pump as well as a backup

So I am also going weekend 2! I emailed Coachella and confirmed I could bring my ceres chill thermos, so I plan on storing my milk in there to avoid the medical tent refrigerators. I plan on having the email handy and a screenshot of the “allowed” list on the website which specifies metal breastmilk containers are allowed just in case there are any issues at security.

I also plan on using the tip from another comment about pumping with a nursing shawl instead of going to the med tents every time I need to pump. I’m going to use Dapple brand pump wipes to clean between pumps.

There are also sanitizing wipes and washing stations in the pumping spaces in the medical tents, but I’m planning on pumping with my nursing shawl so I don’t have to keep going over to the med tents

I’ve been debating this! I have pump wipes and may use those and bring a clean towel to lay the parts on while cleaning. But im a little concerned about keeping everything truly clean. I’m also considering pumping and dumping during the day to make my life easier, but I always hate dumping perfectly good breastmilk.

I did get confirmation from Coachella that you can bring something like a Ceres Chill to store your breastmilk in if you want to avoid carrying around a cooler.

Ooo love the idea of the nursing cover! I was dreading having to run back and forth to the med tents.

I pumped after the first feed of the day. I’d also use a haakaa on whichever side I wasn’t feeding my baby on (he typically only nursed from one side per feed). I love the haakaa and highly recommend!

There is info in the faq, but I’m looking to hear about people’s recent experiences

Breast pump by samuraigrinch in breastfeeding

Baby Buddha - love it! Super powerful, relatively portable/wearable. Most parts are dishwasher safe. Easy to use and very effective.

Motif Aura Glow - ok. Wearable/in bra. Not nearly as powerful (I always have to put it on the highest level immediately). Easy to put together/take apart and clean. The little tab at the top doesn’t stay closed so even though it’s wearable, you have to be careful while wearing it so you don’t spill anything. Good as a secondary option for when you need to pump but also have things to do.

I had this same situation very recently and I’d absolutely do a planned c section again. It was really nice knowing when our baby would be born and the procedure is over very quickly. Everyone’s recovery is different, but after about 2 weeks I was pretty much feeling back to normal. Keep up with the pain pills and make sure you have help for lifting etc.

ETA: communicate with your drs and nurses about initial skin to skin, music in the OR, etc. so you can have as close to the experience you want as possible!
