I got a question.

edited September 2011 in Breastfeeding
And I dont member if I asked this or not
My baby sleeps through the night about5-8 hours at a time. But some nights she wakes up. Im super exhausted so I dont breastfeed her. I have my fiance give her a bottle. So I go 10 hours without pumping or breast feeding a few nights a week.
What is your opinion on that? Will that slow down milk production during the day? I need thauggts ladies.

  • @proudmommy8789 how old is ur baby? Mine is 4 weeks.


    @ashleyfew I tried that for a while but once I was awake I wouldnt go back to sleep for hours. I have delayed sleep problems.
  • mines 13 weeks but shes been sleeping like that since 3 1/2 weeks
  • @Bahamamama4828 can we get your input please! i havent been waking up to pump/feed since she was 3 1/2 weeks and shes 13weeks now and it hasnt messed with my supply
  • I havent had any trouble with my supply at all either. Thank goodness if u couldnt breast feed id cry. I love it.
  • Sorry! Just seen my tag on this, I don't always get them.:/ does baby lay with u guys at night? I say that's pretty good it hasn't messed with ur supply when baby sleeps that long without eating. If u can, lay baby with u at night and when its time to eat feed her so u can still sleep and bot have that chance of reduced supply. Ur hormones are highest in between 1 and 5am :)
  • when baby is so young and sleeps that long***
