EBF sleeping through the night?

Question

My baby is 3 months and EBF. She’s been on a pretty consistent schedule of eating around 830, sleeping until a 3 am feeding, and waking up around 7:30. I’m fine with this schedule as it works great for me getting back to work. My husband however wants her sleeping later. Obviously I wouldn’t mind her making it through the entire night but I’m curious. Are your breastfed babies making through the entire night? If so how are YOU making it through the entire night? The few times she’s made it until 5 am and I feel like I’m about to explode!

Answer

My daughter is 12 weeks, EBF. She sleeps from 9pm-5am. She cluster feeds for most of the evening so I have nothing left in my boobs by the time she’s done with them 😂 
At 5am she’ll feed off one boob and I’ll pump from the other. I quite often wake up engorged and wet, lying in a puddle of my own milk... but I’d deffo rather take the sleep ANYDAY!! Xx

Answer

My daughter goes to bed between 8-10 and sleeps until 630 or 730.
I stay up till 11 and try and Empty my boobs as much as possible. 
They always feel like they are going to explode in the morning. 
But I like to sleep, I won’t get up and pump. I want to sleep lol

Answer

My baby eats last around 10:30-11:00 then she goes to sleep and sleeps until anywhere from 8am -10:00am. She’s been doing this since around 6 weeks

Answer

My daughter has her last feeding and goes to bed anywhere from 8 -10 and then sleeps a five or six hour stretch (so waking once around 1-4). I usually pump two hours after her last feeding and then pump after I feed her in the middle of the night. She usually will go back to sleep for a 3-4 hour stretch.

Answer

Answer

Nope. She falls asleep around 8 usually & wakes around 3 to feed then again between 5:30-6:30

Answer

My baby is almost 3 months old, EBF. She sleeps around 22:00 and wakes up around 5:00. Sometimes she wakes up at 3:00 too. At first I had a little engorgement, but not anymore. I wouldn't change her sleep schedule,  if I were you. If your baby is doing well like that and it passes to your schedule, why mess up a good thing? Your husband is not the one, who will have to wake up in the middle of the night to feed the baby or deal with lactation problems...

Answer

Most nights my daughter goes from 8-730. I have to pump because I’m leaking everywhere and I want to keep my supply up. She still will occasionally wake up around 230-3 for a feeding and go back to sleep til 7ish

Answer

My baby is 3 months and he gets a breast milk bottle between 9-10 pm and he sleeps till 6-7 am. By the time I get baby to sleep and my toddler to sleep it's around 11 and I pump, then I usually get up again around 3 or 4 and pump again and those bottles I use to feed him at night before bed. I think it helps him sleep better with a full tummy. He drinks the whole bottle before falling asleep. If I breast feed before bed he won't eat as much and doesnt sleep as well.

Answer

My LO goes down around 9:30 and generally gets up around 2 and then again at 4:30. She’s up for the morning at about 8am. We’ve grown so used to the night feedings that I’m not even bothered anymore!
