BF with 1 bottle & pumping at Night

Lindsay

When I had my son, I knew I would be exclusively pumping because it’s what I have done before and what worked for us. Neither of my first two children were able to latch well enough for us to breast-feed. A couple weeks ago I decided to try breast-feeding with my son and he took to it so we’ve been exclusively breast-feeding during the day ever since. 

My problem is that he sleeps for about 5 to 6 hours and in that time I get engorged and uncomfortable, only to get worse because of not moving much in my sleep. So I’ve been pumping just before bed and giving him a bottle instead of breast-feeding. Anyone else do this or have recommendations for how to be more comfortable overnight?
