BF Ladies: Do you think this will mess me up?

I normally go home at lunch to feed DD after I pump at 10.  DD is still sleeping and DH hasn't fed her (it is 11:15).  I told him that I am going to stay here for lunch then. 

My question is, should I try to get a room to pump in at 12:30 (my normal time to feed her), or can I just wait until my normal pumping time at 3?  I really don't feel like pumping again and I don't get much in the afternoon.  Will one time of going longer in between mess me up really badly?

It shouldn't mess up your supply this one time, but you may get a clogged duct. It just depends on how susceptible you are to them. I'd probably chance it though.

I don't think missing one day will mess you up. But your breasts will probably be pretty full by the time 3pm comes around so you might want to have some breast pads on hand in case of leakage.

I think one time will be fine

As long as your not in pain, I wouldn't see a problem. If we go out and I give DD a bottle I just get more milk the next time I pump/feed. We've never had a problem.

  It should be fine.  Just beware of leaks and porn star boobs this afternoon!

That is pretty much what I figured.  Thanks ladies!  I am going to enjoy my lunch break!  Hope you all do as well

One time shouldn't harm anything. I skip random feedings all the time (probably 4-5 times a week) and never have issues

Like others said, you are fine. I occasionally skip feedings and have no issues.

I think it should be fine. Just beware of leaks like some other posters said, just in case!!

Not at all.  You should be fine.
