To pump or sleep?

Question

Mama’s that are ebf and have babies that are sleeping 4+ hours at night..... do you sleep also or do you get up and pump every 3 hours? 
I want to sleep but I’m worried about my supply. Help!

Answer

I sleep. My daughter sleeps for 5-6 hours and I sleep too. I always pump after her first morning feed and my supply is doing fine so far.

Answer

Always sleep. Your body will adjust to times that you dont feed. So if you dont need to feed baby in the middle of the night your supply will go down only at that time. If you start pumping you'll never be able to stop because you'll get engorged if you stop.

Answer

I have worried about this as well. My baby will sometimes wake up but for the last several nights, he hasn't been. I noticed today that I pumped a considerable amount less today at work. I'm not sure if this is because of the longer stretches at night or due to something else. Tonight I'm going to go ahead and wake up to pump to see if that brings my supply back up.
