Formula supplement for a hotel stay?

[lilith1]

My almost 8 month old DS is EBF, either from the source or via bottle. My supply has dropped dramatically in the past 2 months. I have stashes of frozen milk which I use to make up the deficit. I might be able to nurse and use my stash until he is 11 months old.
We plan a vacation for 4 days staying in a hotel. I called there, I have a fridge, but not a freezer in the room. I have no idea how to handle 4 days worth of BM in a fridge without wasting it. Even in a cooler it only lasts 24 hours. I still nurse, but I have to use frozen BM as well. I simply don't have enough for him. He is starting to self feed little chunks of food, not significant though.
Now I thought rather than risking to waste BM, I could get formula and supplement with that. I have 4 days to try it out till' we leave. What would you do?
Did anybody run into that before?

Are you still pumping? If you could manage to pump some in the few days before you leave, you could leave that in the refrigerator. Milk that has not been frozen can be refrigerated for up to 8 days. You could use your frozen milk for the first day and the fresh stuff for the three days after that.

I thought about that. I have done that on a trip before. Now I pump 5 oz. in a 12 hour period. (while i'm at work, I nurse him him in the evening and wing it on days off, if he still seems hungry coming off the boob I know I was a pacifier rather than a meal and defrost another package...), enough for 1 session for DS. I would need 4 of those a day. If I exclusively pump now, feed him the bottle I am afraid I might loose it all together without the stimulation. I am pregnant 2 months along, supplements are not really an option Fenugeek in my pantry. That was a good thought, i forgot about that. would take care of 2 days.yeah

If it's just supplementation- not his only source of nutrition- you could consider supping with goat's milk while you're away? Just a thought, if you're trying to avoid formula.

(I'm not hating on the formula- it's most of what my DD eats, for many complicated reasons. But, if you've made it eight months without, and want to keep it that way, goat's milk might be a good option.)

Dry ice..

We get shipped donor milk and with dry ice it stays rock solid for a few days
