Will pumping for 24 hours away affect my breastfeeding supply?

[Robyn8]

I'm going to be away for 24 hours from my daughter in a few weeks. She'll be 13 weeks at this point and is mostly Breastfed. I'm going to take my breast pumps with me and plan on pumping every few hours for 20-30 mins. Will this keep up my supply? She feeds on demand during the day anywhere between 20-60 mins every 1 1/2-2ish hours unless she has a very long nap and she's a good night sleeper doing at least 6 hour stretches. I really don't want to lose my supply as we've worked so hard establishing it and I enjoy feeding her.

24 hours isn't that long, I think you'll be fine based on my experience (mum of 3).

Whilst I've not found pumping as effective/efficient as the baby, it does the job of creating some demand. Think of all the mums who might exclusively pump for whatever reason. I'd pump when I feel full.

Your supply will be fine so long as you've practiced and are good with the pump. If it was me doing it, I would end up with blocked ducts the day after so stock to on paracetamol and cold compresses! Hopefully you're not so susceptible

You'll be fine.

You will be fine. That first feed when you get back will be 👌
