I've never miss 2 nursing sessions, just one. But I am gone 2 nights/week workings and DH puts LO to bed. I don't pump anymore on those nights. I think I stopped just before he turned a year.

We are also nursing 3 times per day. I am not sure what I would do if I missed two. Maybe pump once? I don't feel full ever anymore though.

Not unless I get uncomfortable

Once I stopped pumping, I stopped pumping! So if I missed a nursing session, I just missed it and it was fine. I only nurse in the mornings, nights, and weekends now. If I get home after LO has gone to bed she normally wakes up at some point to nurse anyway but I have gone a full day without nursing and was fine.

Nope, once I stopped pumping at work that was it. If I wasn't home at bed time a missed a session, I didn't pump. But then again I've never really had problems with leaking/engorgement.

@birdofafeather: Yes, I have. I was out Friday night and was definitely engorged, especially since M-F, I usually only nurse 2x a day. She woke up when I got in around 1 and I leaked all over the both of us when she was nursing. I never expect that to happen anymore but it does.

I didn't pump after I was officially "done pumping" and would occasionally miss a feeding, I don't remember it being an issue maybe I felt fuller by the next feeding but not engorged. I probably went 6-7 hours and was fine. In your situation though with it being bedtime/overnight you might want to pump before you go to bed if you are uncomfortable.
