Pumping in the middle of the night?

Question

My guy is 3 months old and there have been a few nights where he sleeps for about 6 hour stretches. Should I be getting up to pump in the middle to keep my supply up?

Answer

I wouldn't worry about it! My baby started sleeping through the night (8-9 hours) at 3 months and I didn't wake up to pump. My body regulated itself and started producing less at night but still made plenty in the daytime. Then the 4 month sleep regression hit and she started waking up again and I started producing more at night again. Breastfeeding is all supply and demand so your body will make what it needs!

Answer

What is the 4th month sleep regression ?

Answer

My mom told me that's what she did. She couldn't afford a breast pump, so she had to express by hand!
