STTN = engorged

So my son (8 mo) has been sleeping through the night for the past 2 weeks. 7-6 a.m. I pump right before bed, but I am still waking up leaking/soaking and in pain from being so engorged. I thought things would have evened out by now, but it is just going to keep up like this? We nurse when he wakes up, I pump at work and he nurses before bed. Should I drop the pump before I go to bed? I don't need the milk but thought it might make things better overnight.

    I'd probably drop the before bed pump, you're signaling your body to overproduce.

    I would def drop the pump before bed. I still pump before bed because I am trying to up my supply. My son will either get up to eat at 3 or sleep till 6 so I need that extra milk for the next day. But even with that extra pump I never get engorged these days at all.
