If my baby is sleeping longer stretches throughout the night but still wakes up 2-3 times from 3am-7am do I have to pump after the first wake up from being too “full” since baby slept from 9pm-3am?

Question

pump after the first wake up from being too “full” since baby slept from 9pm-3am?" /> 
Barely drank from my right
Tried to get baby to drink from left to not make me feel so engorged but baby didn’t want to

Answer

Try to tough it out and not pump so that your body will adjust your supply accordingly. Otherwise your body will continue to think your baby needs that milk and you will continue to have to do that pumping session even long after your baby sleeps through the night.

Answer

You don't HAVE too, but it might help you feel more comfortable.
