Accidentally slept through two pumpings. How bad will this hurt my supply? Please help, I'm...

[skybluepink02]

I went to sleep last night and set my alarm to wake me up in two hours to pump again. Unfortunately, I set it to 12:15 PM instead of 12:15 AM. I slept until 8:00am when I woke up incredibly sore and full and in a frantic because I knew I had missed two pumpings (Midnight and 6am). I'm pumping now and have already gotten 10 oz out where I usually get 3-4 per pumping.

I guess my question is how badly might this affect my supply and what can I do today to fix it? Marathon pump? Or just stay on my 2 hour schedule? I'm producing 36 oz right now at 10 day postpartum, which is more than my twins need NOW, but I know they'll need that much soon and I don't want to take any risks of losing any of my supply.

I am no expert on this, but I think you will probably be fine just to resume your regular 2 hour pumping schedule. One night shouldn't hurt anything!

Congrats to you on the birth of your twins!

I agree with PP, I don't think missing a few pumpings is a big deal at all. Stop worrying

[skybluepink02]

Thanks. I'm keeping track of how much I'm pumping and it doesn't seem to have affected me too much, other than being incredibly uncomfortable when I woke up. I worry a lot about my supply because it's all I can do for my babies right now.

Sort of off topic but I just wanted to say 36 oz at 10 days postpartum - you rock!

[louloubean]

yup, agreed, you rock!
and you obviously deserved (and needed) the sleep!
