i took DS out for the day today and as I'm not yet confident enough to BF in public I expressed enough milk for a feed while we were out which went well. My question is as I effectively missed a feed do I need to express again to keep my milk supply up? I went from 12 til 6 between feeds (as he had EBM at 3pm)
also often at night DS falls asleep round 8pm and wakes at 1 or 2 am for a feed which my DH does using EBM meaning I go from 8pm til 4am ish without doing a feed -will this affect my supply?
what should I do if the answer is yes to these? I'm really happy with DH doing a feed and it's working well as the 4-5 hour stretch of sleep i get is keeping me sane and able to cope so would hate to give it up.
