Forgot my pump!!

pixiedustie · March 2009

Well crap I live and hour from work and left my pump at home today, brought the bag it goes in but the pump was hooked to the charger. How much will I screw up my supply if I leave only once to go feed DD? I usually pump 3 times a day.

I think your biggest problem will be the pain from engorgement! One day shouldn't do much damage to your supply, but you may be leaking a bit.

You will be ok you will just be uncomfortable. Do you have extra breast pads with you becasue you will probably leak a bunch.

Oh also if you can try and pump between feedings tonight when you get home to make up for the missed ones. It will help with your supply for tommorow. I find if I miss a pump or feeding my supply gets screwy the next day unless I do that.

Thankfully I have pads with me and I will pump as soon as DD and I get home tonight. Thanks for the suggestions, good to know I won't mess up everything completely!
