BF & EP: need help dropping a pumping

Sniffer2.0Sniffer2.0
in Babies: 0 - 3 Months

So, some of you are going to hate me for this post; I apologize in advance.

My son sleeps about 9 hrs at night, and I've been waking up super engorged to the point that he isn't able to latch on until I pump a little.  Just to get my boobs soft enough for him to latch on is about 4 oz.  I immediately stop pumping as soon as they're soft enough to get him on there.

Do you have any suggestions on how to "train" my boobs to not need that 2 am pumping?

    My just adjusted gradually. I noticed if I pump before I go to bed I get engorged like you mentioned. How old is your baby?

    OK, I just saw the age. I think you will adjust slowly. Most milk supply slows down in the evening.

    OK, thanks!  I've had over supply issues since my milk came in.  I'm a dairy cow.

    I had the same issue, I pump before going to sleep (2hrs after DS) and after about 6 days my body adjusted and I can now go up to 7 hrs a night w/o feeding/pumping. It sucked for a few days though
