nighttime feeding

in Babies: 0 - 3 Months

For about a week now LO has been sleeping 5, 6, or even once 7 hours at night when she used to only sleep 4 hours. 

The thing is, I thought breastfed babies didn't do this since they process the milk and proteins faster? And I'm worried that it could hurt my supply. Any other BFing moms have this happen?

Also, this has been happening since her reflux has gotten really bad. She'll cry for hours and finally fall asleep between midnight and 2am...

    My LO has done this since 1 week old. He sleeps 5-6 hours at night; occasionally longer. I was freaked out about my supply, but my mom BF 4 of us and told me my body would adjust. She was right. I have no supply issues at all. Since he goes so long at night, I do wake him during the day if he naps too long. (Which is rare! He's not much of a napper.)

    I'm obviously no expert, but this has been my experience so far. I've also heard the same from some of my friends who BF their LOs.
