Can I ruin my supply in one day?

Question

I’m sure I’m like most BF moms and obsess about my milk supply. We’re taking a road trip today and I’ve been running around all day, packing, getting the LOs ready and have missed ALL of my usual pumping sessions. I’ve still nursed the 10 week old whenever she gets hungry but I definitely have not followed the same feed/pump pattern that I usually do. Is there anything special I can or need to do when we get to our destination to make sure I don’t negatively affect my supply?

Answer

If you fed on demand you’re fine! Even if you didn’t, you could recover it, but your body makes exactly what it needs by just feeding on demand.

Answer

Nope we do something different every day and my supply is fine. I had to purposely decrease my supply because I was pumping double what I needed. But I pump and nurse and go varying amounts of time between pumping. I try to be consistent but we are out and about a lot, so it may catch up with me, but I promise, one day won’t hurt you.

Answer

Maybe just drink extra water and eat some oatmeal they are both supposed to help with supply. If you start pumping again the next day I'm sure one day won't hurt.
