Engorged, pumping, sleeping through the night 🤷🏼♀️
FTM here and my 10 week old baby has started sleeping through the night fairly regularly. (Yay!) however when I wake up my breasts are SO full that he can’t latch (Boo!) so after a struggle through engorgement and plugged ducts I learned to pump and give it via bottle. Even if he is able to latch I still have to pump to fully empty, especially the second breast as he doesn’t take as much from it. My question is, will this eventually remedy itself as my body adjusts to a full night sleeper? I’ve heard when some people pump too much it causes engorgement more because they are upping their supply beyond their baby’s needs. Any thoughts/advice is appreciated. Thanks!
