Glad it helped! Massage any hard lumpy spots when you pump today and apply warmth (warm wash cloth should work). If possible you may want to avoid underwire bras until you know you don't have any plugged ducts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/forgot-pump-parts-on-vacation#post-1796703 Mon, 04 Aug 2014 08:12:07 +0000 bisous 1796703@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Seattlemom: you rock!

Not sure whether I am happy because my body still knows to make milk or scared about a plugged duct! So pathetic, but I never learned how to hand express. No better time than the present!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/forgot-pump-parts-on-vacation#post-1796481 Sun, 03 Aug 2014 23:00:49 +0000 lady grey 1796481@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Self/hand express a few times until you can get pump parts at the store!<br /> <a href="http://newborns.stanford.edu/Breastfeeding/HandExpression.html" rel="nofollow">http://newborns.stanford.edu/Breastfeeding/HandExpression.html</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/forgot-pump-parts-on-vacation#post-1796479 Sun, 03 Aug 2014 22:57:33 +0000 78h2o 1796479@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Can you hand express?

We went 3 days without nursing and then started doing both sessions again, and continued to for 2 more months. I didn't have a supply problem when we resumed, but I did get engorged during the 3 days (no plugged ducts, though). I hope it works out for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/forgot-pump-parts-on-vacation#post-1796456 Sun, 03 Aug 2014 22:17:04 +0000 MamaCate 1796456@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bisous: when we were doing am/pm only, there was at least a 24-36 hour period once or twice when LO refused to nurse for whatever reasons. I was so worried about my supply but she resumed and we were bake to pick back up. Hope the same is true for you! I hope getting supplies in the morning should cover it fir you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/forgot-pump-parts-on-vacation#post-1796389 Sun, 03 Aug 2014 20:57:12 +0000 bisous 1796389@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So we are finally taking a short trip without our 14 month LO. I am currently breastfeeding LO at wake up and bedtime and sometimes weekend naps. I was planning to pump at least once a day at night while away. </p> <p>Just realized I forgot some pump parts. 9:30 on a Sunday night is not a convenient time to realize this! I can run to Babies r Us tomorrow, but has anyone gone a couple days without pumping or nursing without supply problems (and/or plugged ducts)? </p> <p>We are probably going to stop nursing soon, but I was hoping for it to be on her terms!! </p>
