Just wondering what the nights are like for those who are breast feeding. Right now my LO eats around 10 pm and then goes down til around 2:30, then back down and is up again at 5:30 or 6 to eat. He then is up until his long morning nap.
He sleeps in the Rock and play but sometimes I will pull him in bed with me for that MOTN feeding and he just stays there.
I'm wondering if BF babies ever start sleeping through that MOTN feed? If so, does your milk supply adjust okay? I'm so tired. I would love to have hope that someday soon I will get to sleep a whole five hours in a row.

Re: BF moms...nights?
What sleep training did u follow?
Beauty- your sig pictures are great!
Every baby is different... DS didn't STTN until we night weaned at about 9 months - still woke up for paci/comforting for another month. DD is already STTN consistently. My boobs tend to be engorged in the morning, but no leaking over night thankfully. You adjust. And you will get sleep again eventually. . Did your twins STTN early?
My boobs were miserable for a few days, but then were fine overnight. I still am really full in the morning and am anxious for him to eat or to pump to relieve pressure, but they aren't completely engorged anymore.
The first few times she slept through the 2 I woke up in pain and soaked. I pumped before bed at 11 to help the transition. After a few weeks I didn't need to pump and I'm fine. Everything adjusted. And it's still fine if she is hungry at 2 or sleeps.
Thank you!! I didn't breast feed my twins this long, so by this time they were FF and yes, sleeping all night! I'm so so happy to be EBFing LO, but I do miss the sleep haha!
I nurse my daughter to sleep around 8pm and she'll usually want to eat again around 4am and then go back to sleep.
Now, if I actually went to sleep when she does, that would mean a full eight hours, but instead I stay up and do really important things like watch a wide array of junk on Netflix.
She's up again at around 8am and if I can get her on the boob before she's really up, then she'll fall back to sleep until around 9:30am. All in all, not too bad.
Sounds like us.
My schedule is still pretty much like yours. My LO is almost 13 weeks. Missing that extra sleep too.
Over-40 parents...what we lack in vigor, we make up for with cunning.
This sounds like us too.
