What is the longest you've gone?

What is the longest you have gone without pumping or BFing?

I have gone about 7 hours, because I slept through my alarm, and my boobs hurt soooo bad...

So on average, I sleep from 10 or 11pm to 3:30am, and then 3:30 to 7 or 8.  I generally don't ever get more than a 4-5 hour stretch of sleep.

Ugh!  I've adjusted, but sometimes it still gets to me!

    Around 7 hours--that was today. It wasn't that bad but I'm a year in so I think the girls could handle it.  When DS was a couple months old, I went about 4 hours and they were like rocks. I thought I was going to die.

    Usually 8 hours nightly...at most I went 10 hours once...I pump before bed so that I can sleep through the night, otherwise I wake up in excruciating pain with wet sheets.

    I usually go like 8 to 10 hours every night! This morning I woke up and my bra was soaked... I went to check on LO and she was fast asleep... I never want to pump in case she is about to wake up LOL

    sometimes 9-10hrs at night...I don't really leak anymore either.  I EP I dont know if that has anything to do with it.  I am down to 4 pumps a day and get about 24 oz for hte day and supplement the rest with formula

    I just started going 12 hours at night. DD nurses before bed at 8 or 8:30 and doesn't usually nurse again until 8:30 to 9 am. I was waking at 6 to pump. It was worth it because I was getting at least 10 oz to put in the freezer but DD had a few rough nights a couple of weeks ago and I was rocking her when I should have been pumping. I started dropping the pumping session and it was painful for about a week but I am fine now until she gets up. I love getting the extra sleep!

    I think 6 hrs. DS had a few evenings of sleeping 5 hrs but just a few.

    DS recently started STTN a few times a week and sometimes I go 9 hours. It would be longer except that I almost always pump right before I go to bed.
