Ummm...waking up engorged again? Is this normal?

The last few mornings I've woken up with one breast engorged which hadn't happened in a couple of months.  DS has changed his eating during the day to every 3-4 hours rather than every 2...and at night he is going longer periods now...but I'm concerned that if I'm waking up engorged that he is eating less now...not getting enough..and when he decides he wants to eat more again my milk supply will be messed up.

 Am I worrying over nothing?

Thanks ladies!

    I wouldn't worry.  DD has been STTN 10-12 hours for awhile and my body mostly adjusted, but I still sometimes wake engorged.  There are some foods I didn't know can increase supply, I always assume something I ate must have done it lol.  My body seems to over respond to stuff like that.

    Well there :)  Glad it is normal!  It feels so strange to wake up this way!  I'll take the extra sleep though!  We're not to 10-12 hours....but 4-6 hours feels pretty amazing!

    Don't worry. Your supply will continuously adjust to what he needs. When he starts to nurse more often again, your body will know to increase your supply.
