To pump or to sleep?

Amanda

So my little one has started to sleep longer periods af night. I used to have her to sleep by 9:30-10, then feed her and pump the opposite side around 12 am. Feed her again and pump opposite side at 3 am, then finally feed and pump between 5-6 am when she woke up.

Now she’s going to sleep around the same time but not waking up until 4-5 am and then again at 8 am, sometimes she doesn’t fully wake up for the day until after 10 am. She wakes up and feeds and kind of falls asleep and wakes up. Restless sleep.

My question is, should I wake to pump at night? I wake up totally engorged and it’s painful. I don’t want to mess up my supply. Especially since I’m going back to work soon.
