Missing a feed

[Arcanegirl]

Last night Alex had a bottle (ive done my back in and allowed me time to heal by Rob doing a feed) whilst he had his bottle i expressed. Normally Alex would have woken for a feed early morning which i would have done and then had his next feed lunchtimeish which is a bottle feed.

But this morning Alex slept right through and missed the early morning feed.
Should i be concerned that he missed the feed? Will it affect my supply?

Missing one feed shouldn't affect your supply. Somedays my LO is hungrier than others so we have more feeds than other days. I usually take the opportunity though to express and get my freezer stash up

Ahhh i should have done that, never even thought!

Yea as said above, it's most probably fine. I've never had any difficulties when my daughter misses a feed. Infact when she was younger it was actually better because at her next feed she would eat much more efficiently and this started us forming a routine as she fed less on demand but more to a routine.
