Pump at night?

Question

My LO is 10 weeks old and out of the last week she has went 8-10 hours between night feedings all but 2 nights. Will it effect my supply to go that long between feeds? She eats every 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 hours during the day. Should I get up and pump around 3 am if she doesn't wake to eat?

Answer

It never affected my supply but I was getting up to pump just because it was so uncomfortable and it helps build a small supply when going to work or out in public

Answer

I stopped my night pump when kiddo started sleeping through the night at 10 weeks. It never affected my supply. You just wake up in pain with heavy rock hard boobs. You'll adjust. I've made it with 4-5 pumps/day and have 450oz frozen. We're at 7.5 months along and usually I make it even by the days end. Except this growth spurt. Kiddo has 45 oz a day of milk PLUS fruits and veggies!!!  Who can keep up with that?

He's 3rd percentile for weight and following his curve. So we're definitely not overfeeding him. :)

Answer

I get up tbrough the night and pump. My lacratiom consultant said she little one isn't eating. Then pump at the times it used to nurse to keep your milk supply up.
