engorgement at 12 weeks?

bv27

I'm having issues with getting really engorged in the evening and over night now that my LO is going longer between feedings. This morning, I still felt engorged on one side. LO used to nurse every 2 hours and now nurses every 3 hours plus she now sleeps 6 hours at night so there is a missing nursing session now (although I prize the uninterrupted sleep). Anyway, I wake up extremely engorged and uncomfortable.

Has anyone had the same issue? How long did it take for your supply to regulate?

Ironically, last week, I was feeling like my supply was going down but now I feel like I have too much. 

Any recommendations? Do I just use cold compresses and pump for relief?

i have the same issue--i just pump a little before i sleep so if he does a long night sleep i can get by. not sure what to do besides that. my issue is ds is not regular w/ sttn so until then i dont think my supply will regulate

I still get engorged and DD is almost 5 months! She typically nurses at 6:30 pm and not again until 5 am.  I nurse her when she wakes and then pump after she eats.  I thought that my supply would regulate since she has been STTN for weeks, but it has not.
