night time?

During the day my lo eats off both sides, about 20 min each. For a few nights her early am feeding she would fall asleep after one side. Should I pump the other at that point? Then...last night she slept for 6.5 hrs not gonna complain about that!! But I woke up dripping milk. Should I have pumped in the middle of the night, or will my body adjust to what she's doing?

    Answers kind of depend on what you want, or are going to do....If you want to build a freezer stash then I would pump as often as she gives you the opportunity. You don't have to do it,  and your body will adjust, but I wish I had pumped more early on to make my body thin k I needed more milk. So I could now pump more during the day.

    I went back to work at 4 months and it has been dificult to keep up with DD's demand because I respond so poorly to the pump. I end up having to get up and pump in the middle of the night now because I need those four ounces...and she has been STTN for a few months. Plus I stress on the days she doesn't STTN and wants to eat since I don't get that pumping session I needed.

    If you already know you can pump a good amount (4-6oz.) per session, or you are not going back to work but will be a SAHM and rarely need to pump then I would just enjoy the gift of sleep and not pump right now when your baby sleeps a bit longer.

    Ditto the above. If you're uncomfortable, I would just hand express until you're no longer in pain.

    Thanks ladies. I am going back to work in 5 weeks, so guess I should probably start working on saving some. That sleep sure was nice last night though!!
