I too had this happen, but took off to target over my prep period (teacher) and pumped in the car on the drive home using the battery pack. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/forgot-pump-parts#post-2204592 Wed, 10 Jun 2015 20:31:43 +0000 lady grey 2204592@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <br /> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/forgot-pump-parts#post-2204297 Wed, 10 Jun 2015 15:20:15 +0000 PurplePeony 2204297@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I forgot mine once and was SO happy a new City Target had recently opened a few blocks away! I just bought a single flange and pumped one side at a time because I'm cheap, haha. After that, I started leaving that extra flange and a couple of empty pumping bottles at work just in case... Anyway, I'm sure this won't hurt your supply, especially if your LO reverse-cycles. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/forgot-pump-parts#post-2204285 Wed, 10 Jun 2015 15:14:30 +0000 edelweiss 2204285@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>it won't kill your supply. this happened to me several times, and i would hand express. it was a pain, but worth it to relieve the pressure and put my mind at ease. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/forgot-pump-parts#post-2204145 Wed, 10 Jun 2015 13:25:36 +0000 LuLu Mom 2204145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Coral: Can you run to a store to pick up extra supplies? I did this, I have a set at home and a set at work so I no longer have to worry about taking and forgetting! (well besides bottles but I have a system that works for me for that.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/forgot-pump-parts#post-2204033 Wed, 10 Jun 2015 11:59:33 +0000 Mrs. Coral 2204033@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@nicollette1189: Dang it!! I hope you're doing ok. I'm super engorged and now my hands hurt from expressing (not so successfully, but I'm sure it helped a little). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/forgot-pump-parts#post-2203984 Wed, 10 Jun 2015 11:15:32 +0000 snowjewelz 2203984@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh I'm sorry! If you can't even run out to get a manual, I'd just hand express to get by! I think at worst your supply may dip a little the next day but can def bounce back! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/forgot-pump-parts#post-2203871 Wed, 10 Jun 2015 10:00:05 +0000 youboots 2203871@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is it possible to get a manual pump during your lunch break? You could keep it in your car for future emergencies? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/forgot-pump-parts#post-2203860 Wed, 10 Jun 2015 09:57:04 +0000 nicollette1189 2203860@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We can suffer together, @Mrs. Coral! I left my power cord at home and am at work for 12 hours :bummed: :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/forgot-pump-parts#post-2203819 Wed, 10 Jun 2015 09:38:28 +0000 Corduroy 2203819@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm sorry, you have my sympathy!</p> <p>I forgot my pump parts on a long one-day business trip. I think it was about 14 hours. Everything was fine but I do not recommend flying with engorged boobs. Holy altitude. Stay out of airplanes and you'll be fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/forgot-pump-parts#post-2203805 Wed, 10 Jun 2015 09:24:59 +0000 catomd00 2203805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Your supply will be fine! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/forgot-pump-parts#post-2203779 Wed, 10 Jun 2015 09:14:15 +0000 avivoca 2203779@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It won't kill your supply but you will be uncomfortable.</p> <p>I did this a few times at work. Luckily I was always able to have my husband bring me the parts or I could get away to the grocery store to buy them (I forgot bottles/bags). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/forgot-pump-parts#post-2203765 Wed, 10 Jun 2015 09:07:18 +0000 Anagram 2203765@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It won't kill your supply, but you will be mighty uncomfortable!</p> <p>I did this twice in the year I pumped at work. The first time was my first month back at work and my boobs were in so much pain, I faked sick and left at lunch time (and took the half sick day). I just couldn't make it the whole day.</p> <p>The second time was much later when my supply was lower--and that time I just waited till I got home. I didn't even really feel super uncomfortable till the last couple of hours. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/forgot-pump-parts#post-2203761 Wed, 10 Jun 2015 09:05:27 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 2203761@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1 day should be fine. I doubt that will hurt your supply. Just make sure to remember your parts tomorrow. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/forgot-pump-parts#post-2203704 Wed, 10 Jun 2015 08:23:52 +0000 CakeLady 2203704@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This happened to me too, I was super uncomfortable by the end of the day but my supply was fine. I pumped when I got home and got a whole days worth of milk in one session. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/forgot-pump-parts#post-2203695 Wed, 10 Jun 2015 08:16:59 +0000 Mrs. Coral 2203695@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Forgot my parts. I'm so busy I can hardly find time to pump at work let alone hunt down parts. I have bottles and can hand express to get by. I have a stash and am blessed in that I pump almost 2x what DD takes at daycare (she's a reverse cycler). </p> <p>Please tell me 12 hours of no pumping won't totally kill my supply. </p>
