Bring a hand or battery powered pump along with you if you plan to supplement with your own milk.

If you are going to supplement with formula, take bottled water from home rather than using local water. Prepared bottles can be kept in cooler bags and heated using a heater that hooks up to the cigarette lighter of your car.
