When your LO sleeps longer stretches...

What do you do about your boobs when your LO sleeps longer stretches at night?  C is starting to sleep for 5-7 hours at night and my boobs are about to explode.  I know I can pump, but then I'd have to wake up which seems to defeat the purpose of being excited about her long stretches of sleep!  Will my body eventually adjust?

BFP#1 1/31/11 ~ CK came on her due date, 10/10/11!
BFP#2 11/20/12, EDD 7/30/13 ~ heard heartbeat at 6w2d ~ mmc discovered at 8w
1st medicated cycle ~ 6/11/13 ~ Clomid ~ BFN
2nd medicated cycle ~ 7/12/13 ~ Clomid and trigger shot ~ BFN
SHG on 8/13/13 ~ uterus looked good!
Diagnosed with DOR on 8/16/13 ~ AMH 0.27 ~ repeat AMH 0.19
3rd medicated cycle ~ 8/9/13 ~ Femara and trigger shot ~ BFN
4th medicated cycle ~ 9/4/13 ~ Bravelle, trigger shot, IUI ~ BFP! ~ EDD: 6/11/14 ~ heartbeat of 118 at 6w3d ~ mmc discovered at 9w1d

    your body will regulate.  I wear a tight sports bra to bed.  it helps.

    We're only getting 4-5 hours of sleep, but if I wake up and feel uncomfortable, I pump. I'd rather do that for 15 or so minutes than have to feed and get her back to sleep! I have heard if you only pump a little, your body knows not to produce that much at night and you slowly make less. Not sure if it's true or not though
    This plus I like having the pumped milk. I pump at. 10pm and 5am then she eats an hourish later.

    Good suggestions... Thanks!

    I pump if my boobs hurt. I pump just long enough to relieve the discomfort.
