Should I be worried?

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
I have to leave DD for a weekend - roughly 48 hours, maybe slightly less - in 2 weeks. I am franticly pumping at night to build up my stash (she has never had formula). She is 6 months old and does fine with DH when I go to work once a week (usually 2, sometime 3 feedings), but I've never been gone overnight. She sleeps through the night fine, nurses before bed then first thing when she wakes up in the morning. I'm really not that concerned about her, I think she will be fine. But what about my supply? That is really my concern. I will be able to pump as much as I want to while I'm gone. Any thoughts or suggestions? I'm just so worried that I'll come back and won't be able to meet her needs.

If you can pump on a similar schedule as she nurses (or maybe slightly more) you shouldn't notice a real difference in supply.

Thanks for commenting, makes me feel a bit at ease about leaving her. I'll pump as much as I can!
