 You've probably already thought this through and
 rejected it, but when my babies were still nursing and
 I had to go away for 4 days, I ended up bringing them
 and the nanny with me. That way I could nurse them
 morning and night just like usual and didn't have to
 worry about the extra pumping. There was no way I could
 have built up a supply like that.If you do pump while
 you're away, you'll need a big cooler with lots of ice
 packs, and they should let you take it on the plane.
 Some TSA people are more clueless than others, and they
 may want to test your milk, but you are allowed to
 carry it on with you.If you work so hard to build up
 that kind of supply before you go, it would be a SHAME
 to throw away milk while you're gone!!!When my friend
 moved here from Boston when her first baby was about 4
 months old, she shipped a box of milk on dry ice to me
 to hold in the freezer for her. So that's an option,
 too.

 Try to borrow both if you can so you can see what
 works. My older daughter loved the swing and not the
 bouncy but my twins don't really love either. We use
 the bouncy seats more though because they are more
 portable. We have multiples of each to use indifferent
 locations. We like the kinds with vibrations. If you
 can borrow, do that. These are short lived items.

 We had this one (can serve as both swing and bouncy) as
 we were in a tiny NY apartment when the twins were
 born. It worked well for us in the beginning. We ended
 up getting another bouncy and another swing later

 I agree it will probably result in some crying. Mine
 are 5.5 months and we got them on a feeding and eating
 schedule at 3 months. At first it was a 3 hour feeding
 schedule but now it is a 4 hour feeding schedule. I try
 line up their naps so they wake up right before their
 scheduled feed. I find that easier than having them go
 down rift after a feed. My babies take 3 naps per day.
 The firat two are roughly 2 hours each and the third is
 about 30 minutes. The only way this is possible is
 because we sleep trained. I ha e no idea to do it
 without sleep training. They used to wake up after one
 sleep cycle (for them about 30 minutes). However, I
 found that if they get back to sleep after that first
 wake up, they sleep pretty well. Even when we were not
 doing CIO, I would go in and rock that baby back to
 sleep if she woke after 30 min. Tey still routinely
 wake in the middle of their naps. Usually it is the
 same baby that wakes. I ignore her and she almost
 always falls back asleep. She is happy when she wakes
 at the end of the nap so I do not think she is any
 worse for the wear. The one who always wakes seems to
 have less of a need to sleep so occasionally we put her
 down 15 minutes later than her sister. I also routinely
 wake the babie up. I do not let one sleep more than 15
 minutes past when the other wakes. Their are only
 capable of staying awake around 2 hours, so if I
 control wen they wake up, they should fall asleep
 around the same time. Once you force it for a few days
 they start to follow the pattern naturally.
