Pumping while away from baby

[Lliana]

I will return to work in a few weeks and will be away for 1 1/2 days - I am stocking up the freezer for my trips but am concerned about how frequently I should pump while I am away.

I have heard to pump every 3 hours, or as often as baby nurses at home, but what do I do about cluster feedings? Right now she nurses every hour from 6-11 or so. Do I try and replicate that?

No, just pump every 3 hours if you can, through evening and if you want to, get up once that night, but you could sleep, then pump every 2 hours a few times in the morning then back onto 3 hours if you can. 2 days of an off schedule will not wreck your supply.
