Not pumping in the night??

Question

So my LO just started sleeping through the night

So now I’m getting a full 8 hour sleep. But I notice my boobs getting so engorged in the morning. Of course I know that pumping in the night will relieve this, but I just started liking this whole sleep thing. Any mommas not pump in the night and it not affect your supply? Or will this automatically mess up my milk supply if I don’t pump?

Answer

I generally only pump to relieve engorgement, or if it’s necessary, like once my baby just stopped latching till i saw a lactation consultant. When i do it to relieve the pain I pump just a couple of minutes, enough to relieve the pain, but not make my body think baby is eating a meal. I sleep train my babies so they generally start sleeping 11ish hours by 3 months. My body always takes a little time to adjust when they make their transitions, but then it just makes more during the times they eat. Our bodies are amazing like that. I am able to breastfeed my babies for 12+ months, without waking up in the night to feed or pump once they’re sleeping through the night. Good luck!

Answer

I never pumped at night once she started sleeping during it. There was some discomfort for a few days but it regulated itself and my supply is fine during the day.

Answer

I got tired of waking up to wet shirts and wet sheets so I started waking up when I felt discomfort and pumped for no more than 10 minutes and jumped right back in bed. Before bed I had everything washed and ready for me to just pump and put in the fridge to deal with in the morning.

Answer

Mine did at first too, eventually it got better. I did pump the first time in the morning because they hurt, but then I stopped and just put him to the boob alot the next day. It eventually regulated its self. Theyre still full in the morning, but not nearly as bad.
