| This isn't Step family related but I am sure there has to be at least a few ladies who breast fed on here so here it goes.....I forgot the film to my pump today and the darn pump will not work without it.
I have been manually expressing milk but only getting an ounce from both breasts combined in one session. This won't ruin my supply will it? I'm use to a full pumping every few hours so I'm worried my supply will drop from going an entire work day with out my electric Medela:( I'm really stressing....not to mention it hurts like hell. |

| You should be fine for one day. Just nurse as soon as you get home---I'm sure that's the first thing you do, anyway! I would think, if anything, you might feel really engorged today. I really don't think one day will matter. :) Good luck---you are doing great! Where does Layla go when you're at work? How is everything going? |

| Don't stress!!!!! I used to pump too, and if you don't/can't for a day you'll be fine. Do you have access to a hot shower? That really would help me "express" when I couldn't use the milk I was making. |

| Layla is with Grandma furing the day now that I'm back at work. If she was closer to the office I'd drive over there now! I am really sore. |

| doodleboo, Take a hot shower, if you can't at work, then use a washcloth or towel with hot water in the ladies room. One day won't change anything. Remember, the baby is the best pump. |
