Planning a weekend away and need to know how much to express and if it will effect my supply?

Just planning a weekend away and wondered how much I would need to express, my baby will be seven months when i go so months away yet but just wondering...

I am going away for two nights- Friday evening to Sunday afternoon so I will need to express all the feeds. I will express whilst away when I would normally feed - would this have a negative effect on my supply or would it be ok for a one off?

Thanks

I did this for one day and night, and I was fine.
A bit of engorgement-ouch, I couldn't wait til the function was over so I could run up to our hotel room and express!!
I just did it when they felt full IKYWIM !
Enjoy every minute !!

Thanks - what about a weekend?

How often do they feed then anyway?

It depends on you and the baby how much they feed at 7 months!.
By then I was feeding about 4 times a day and night.
Expressing about twice a day would keep you from feeling sore, and then as soon as you get your little one back the supply will build back up if it's needed.
Going anywhere nice for the weekend?
