breastfeeding / pumping, if your little one sleeps for longer stretches than 3-4hrs at night, do you wake up just to pump?" />

Answer

When he wakes up, I pump most of one side while he nurses on the other since I am engorged after he sleeps so long. It works great!

Answer

I am an exclusive pumper and my son isn’t sleeping through the night yet but he’ll spontaneously go a 6-7 hr stretch without waking up. He’s only done this like 3 times and I haven’t put an alarm cause I don’t know he’s gonna do it. Will sleeping through really hurt my supply?

Answer

I sleep but I also don’t engorged easily. He’s done a 10 hour stretch a few times now! My supply has been fine, from what I can tell.

Answer

My daughter is ebf and sleeps through the night if I wake up and my boobs are extra full I pump.  But only if I get woken up by it or if my toddler wakes me up then I do. Sleep has been winning lately lol

Answer

I only pump and my doctor told me to sleep and I will pump 2 bottles in the am. she was right I pump every 4 hours and get 4 ounces so I pumped at 1030 at night and at 630 in the morning I got 8 ounces.

Answer

No. My LO sleeps 8-4. He feeds right before bed and then after he feeds at 4 I pump both sides.   I did end up with a plugged duct and mastitis once. I’ve been taking sunflower lecithin since and haven’t had any issues.

Answer

When I exclusively pumped I would wake up and pump only because I had to pump round the clock to be able to keep up, this baby I just sleep since I’m not pumping.
