Should I pump in the middle of the night?

Question

My baby is 9 months old and sleeps through the night (8pm-6:30am). Should I be worried about losing my supply if I don’t wake up in the middle of the night to pump? Should I be waking up to pump? I just don’t know if I should be concerned with my supply since he is almost a year old.

Answer

My little girl is 15wks old and she been sleeping through the night since 7wks old, and I’ve stopped pumping through the night a week after she started sleeping through.. my supply hasn’t changed I just don’t wake up with rock hard boobs anymore. Stop pumping your body will regulate to what milk baby needs 😊

Answer

I wouldn’t bother unless you’re exclusive pumping. If you’re nursing then your body just adjusts to whatever baby does.

Answer

Nope. Enjoy a good nights rest !

Answer

Your body should regulate and just decrease the amount you produce at night.👌🏾 My daughter started sleeping through the night at three months and at first, I used to wake up and pump because I thought I had to. Then I stopped waking up to pump and my body soon regulated. I pumped as soon as I woke up though! I am not sure if everyone's is like this, but this is what happened with me.👍🏾

Answer

You could always pump before you go to bee for the night at like 10 or whenever. That way it shortens the time but doesn't interrupt your sleep

Answer

You’ll be fine not pumping at night. I never did with my second daughter and don’t now with my son and he’s almost 4 months. Both started sleeping through the night at around 2 months. Your supply will regulate where you won’t be producing as much at night and shouldn’t effect your supply during the day.

Answer

Nah I wouldn't. I pump right before bed then she nursed first thing in the morning. It helps train your body when to produce and when to chilll

Answer

Thank you all for the advice!

Answer

You’ll be fine, I’d only wake to pump if you have supply issues or if baby was under 6 months old.

Answer

If you plan to stop at 1 & seem to be doing fine I wouldn’t worry BUT some women can dry up fast without pumping. That big gap of time tells your body you no longer need the supply so slows down production. I would still wake up at least once.
