Parenting after a Loss
think this will affect my milk supply?
i'm starting back at work part time tomorrow. 3 days a week i will work 8:30 to 11:30, then i will be able to go get LO from the sitter (15 min commute) and feed him, then do my paperwork at home with LO there. i will not be able to pump between 8:30 and 11:30 because i will be working 1 on 1 with a kiddo. i'm sure LO will need a bottle of pumped milk during that time, he usually doesn't go more than 2 hours during the day without eating. i will pump either at night after he goes to sleep or in the middle of the night on one side while he is eating on the other side. (or both these times?) what do you think, will my supply be affected since i won't be able to pump for that time in the morning while he will be eating then?

Re: think this will affect my milk supply?
No, your body will adjust and you will be fine, it will just take a few days. I wouldn't pump in the middle of the night because you need your rest, but I would pump before you go to bed. My LC told me that your body will adjust to the demand as long as you are consistent. Good luck, you will be fine!
