I usually pump at work 3x. Today, my 2nd session got pushed way back due to a meeting running long and I'm just pumping now. I have to leave at 400pm to go run a group therapy session 15 min away, so no time to pump while I drive.
Would you attempt to pump again at 340 or so (about 1.5hrs between) and hope for something, or leave it at 2 sessions today and try to make up the difference for tomorrow by pumping before bed? I have frozen milk I could use, too, but I'm reluctant to skip a session for fear of hitting my supply.
What do you think? Sorry, I know this is sort of ridiculous, but I'm still so new at this I'm freaking out about causing a dip.
Re: Pumpers, a ?
Personally, I have found that getting one less session in a day here or there hasn't changed my overall supply much. I completely understand your worries about it though!
Thanks, ladies. I pumped before bed last night, so I got the last "session" in. I got very little milk, though, so hopefully LO sticks to her usual number of bottles today and we don't need to dip into the extra one!
I'm just really getting a sense of how tough it's going to be to keep up with her pumping... I continue to be SO impressed with your EPing ladies, I know I sound like a broken record, but this is hard work!
