Not engorged anymore...Should I pump?

Question

So my son is a week and 2 days today. When my milk came in I was super engorged all the time now I'm not. Not even at night. Should I pump to boost my supply? My LO is still cluster feeding but if he sleeps 3 hours in still not engorged anymore.

Answer

NO! That's a good thing. Being engorged is painful & means your body is producing too much milk. Sounds like you're just regulating

Answer

Nope, your body is just getting used to his pattern. The only time I ever got engorged is when my daughter started sleeping longer through the night and even then it only took a couple of days before my body adjusted. I breastfed until she was a year old with no supplemental formula.
