6 week old sleeping through - supply/clogged ducts/mastitis risks!?
I have been EBF my daughter, she is 6 weeks old. The last 3 nights she has slept through. The first night she went 9 hours, the second night she went 7 hours and last night she went 8½ hours.
I have been told that I'm at risk of my supply dropping/clogged ducts/mastitis.
I know she is getting enough because of the amount of nappies she is producing and her weight gain.
Birth weight: 6lb 6oz
5 days old: 6lb 5oz
11 days old: 7lb 1oz
18 days old: 7lb 13oz
6 weeks 1 day: 10lb 4½oz
I've also read that my supply will adjust to her but what if all of a sudden she then starts feeding through the night again? Will she be able to get what she needs if my boobs haven't been used through the night?
Should I pump through the night?
