Traveling without baby after weaning from pump

kimeetee

So I'm weaning from the pump during work, but still nursing baby when I'm with her (so nights, mornings and weekends).  I know I will be traveling without baby for a couple of weekends in the next few months.  Do I need to pump while I'm gone from her to maintain the night and weekend supply?

yup

Maybe. It depends on how often you are nursing and how long you will be gone. I'd actually be more concerned about engorgement and plugged ducts than the supply issue.

I'm not officially weaned from the pump yet.  Pumping twice each day at work this week, then planning on pumping only once a day next week.

 We pick up DD from daycare at around 545.  She usually wants to nurse immediately when we get home.  Then I nurse her before bed (and 1-3 times during the night/morning).  Then we nurse upon demand on the weekends.  

 I don't think she's liking the WCM too much right now, didn't want too much of it at school/daycare.  So I could tell she was drinking more than usual when we got home.

Anyway, sorry for the tangent.  I was hoping out of laziness that I won't have to pump, but i think i probably will/should.

 Thanks!
