Time away from BF baby - some worries

3 replies

Next Saturday, baby will miss 3 BF. She will be having EBM, takes bottle with no probs.

However, i am having worries that i will stop making milk becasue of this or that my supply will be affected?

Its not 3 feeds in a row; two are in a row

2pm feed is first (hairdressers lol)

then i will feed her at 5ish when she asks

Then she will miss 6 ish and 8 ish (cluster feeds in pm, she sleeps through the night)we are going to a wedding party

So i thought i would express when i get home about midnight, will this be ok then?

Sorry im new to BF.

She will be 12 weeks and i feed on demand.

Thanks

Scorpio, when I went out last Sunday, I fed at 12pm, went out, L had feeds from a bottle, and I didn't express.
The next time I fed him was about 4am.
If you feel up to expressing when you get in (you may need to just to ease the pain!!) then do it, if not, don't worry.
As long as it's not regular your milk should be fine.

I think you should be fine but, yes, could get a bit ouchie if you didn't express when you got in.
