It was a perfect storm - I had dental work in the morning and a wedding in the afternoon/evening. She woke up for an extra feeding Sunday night, but that's the only thing I noticed as any different, and we're back to normal now. Have fun at the brewery tour! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ok-to-not-pump-for-over-5-hours#post-850586 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 08:52:18 +0000 NovBaby1112 850586@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ok, thanks everyone! sounds like i should be fine, i was just worried that it would hurt my supply but sounds like 1 day wouldn't do that. I will just make sure to pump for a long time when i get home :) </p> <p>@mamabolt: she is 7 months old. awesome, that helps! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ok-to-not-pump-for-over-5-hours#post-850532 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 08:35:04 +0000 mrsjyw 850532@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think missing one day will affect your supply. You might be a bit uncomfortable/full-- but I've done similar things and it hasn't affected my supply :) I just make sure to nurse all day the following day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ok-to-not-pump-for-over-5-hours#post-850530 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 08:34:53 +0000 mamabolt 850530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How old is your LO? I've had to take longer than normal between pumping sessions when I've had to fly for work, when LO was 7 months and 10 months, and I didn't seen any negative impact on my supply as long as I got back to my normal schedule relatively quickly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ok-to-not-pump-for-over-5-hours#post-850520 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 08:31:53 +0000 Adira 850520@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think one day won't be enough to affect your supply. Just pump when you get home! And maybe pump for longer than normal too, just to really make sure your body knows you need all that milk! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ok-to-not-pump-for-over-5-hours#post-850516 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 08:29:52 +0000 kiddosc 850516@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think you will be ok missing sessions for one day. I would just pump when I got home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ok-to-not-pump-for-over-5-hours#post-850509 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 08:28:03 +0000 NovBaby1112 850509@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My work has a summer outing every year, typically involving going out to eat and some activity. This year we are going to a brewery tour and then going out to eat. We will be leaving the office around 3pm and I won't get back home until past 7:30pm, LO will already be in bed by then. I plan on pumping at 2:30pm, but in a normal day, I usually nurse her when I get home around 5 from one side, then I nurse her again from both sides before bed at 7. Will it hurt my supply if I do not pump the entire time I am out? I will basically be missing 2 nursing sessions....I do not want to hurt my supply, so if needed, I can leave early.... </p>
