BF mommas- leaving LO overnight?

SO and I were thinking of leaving Sophia overnight with my mom for the first time. On top of the normal anxiety about that, I'm worried that going that long without nursing will hurt my supply, even though I'll pump. 

I get maybe half a feeding per pump session.

Is my fear rational and likely or not? Have any BF moms left their LO overnight yet? Did it hurt your supply at all?

    I don't think one night will affect your supply. :)

    I agree with PP - it shouldn't hurt your supply. It's no different than pumping during the day due to work, outings, etc.

    one night def. wont hurt your supply. the most it will do, if you don't end up pumping, will fill you up to engorgement. thats about all it will do. one night wont matter. i left mine for 2 nights in a row (i got them during the day) and both times i was not able to pump. i got super engorged and couldnt wait to pump when i got home. but my supply was still 6 oz per breast. and has been. so one night wont do anything to your supply. :)

    I left my kids with my mom when she came to visit a few wks ago. It was awesome. It was the first time DH and I went overnight alone since before DS was born. I nursed DD and got her to bed at 730 then left. We went to dinner and a hotel 30 mins away. She sttn 12 hrs and so i left a bottle for night just in case she woke, but she didnt. I left a bottle for the morning at 7 and she ate it all. I came home by 9 am and nursed her. It was a short trip but SO worth it. (I pumped when I woke up in the hotel)

    have fun!

    My parents took LO for the night after a wedding (we were in the same hotel).  Since I had been drinking, I did a lot of pumping and dumping.  I did have to get up once during the night to pump and then fed LO as soon as I woke up.
