20 weeks will a day apart affect supply?

[Fernie3]

on saturday i am supposed to be going out for the day without my baby (probably from around 11am-5pm?) will missing 2 or 4 feeds affect supply also will i need to express while i am out or should i be ok and relativly comfortable?

Hi fernie, no, it shouldn't affect supply if it is just a one-off. But I'd have thought that you might get a bit uncomfortable near the end. You may want to take your expressing gear just in case. Otherwise, make sure you have a hungry baby waiting for you when you get home!

I left DD when she was 13wks from 1pm Sat until 11am Sun. I had to express on the sat and early sun morning as I was really full and desperate to feed when I got home but have no problems since at all.

I would definitely take your pump with you if you can, just in case.

nah, I did worse at a younger age. I expressed twice (manual pump in random toilets, fun!) and was away for 12 hours. She was quite fussy when I got back, but as yours is older you might luck out. Might be worth looking up 'how to bottlefeed the breast fed baby' on kellymom for useful tips for who-evers feeding your baby.
