How did you handle sleeping through the night?

I'm going to jinx myself, I know it.

My girls are both in Baby Merlin's Magic Sleepsuits. Last night they both slept from 10:30pm - 5:30am. I am exclusively pumping for them so they get breastmilk from a bottle. Normally they would get up at around 2-3 for a bottle. They usually eat at 6am, 9am, 12pm, 3pm, 6pm, 10pm and then again at 2am. If they continue to sleep through their 2-3am bottle (knock on wood), do I increase the amount they get in their other bottles?

Right now they both get 4oz at each bottle. With the 2am bottle that is 28oz. Do I just go off their cues? I do nurse them if someone is cranky between feedings (I just couldn't handle the stress of trying to feed them both at the breast when they were both hungry).

What did you do once your LOs started STTN?

    I would definitely increase daytime bottles so they are getting roughly the same total amount. If anything, this will reinforce/encourage them to continue STTN because they are getting all the calories they're used to.

    Its been awhile since I pumped but I always fed him until he refused the bottle, then saved whatever was left for next time.
