My plan backfired!

I usually nurse my LO at 7:30pm and then she goes to bed. For about a week she wouldn't wake up until 1am! Then the past two days she slept until 2am! I have low supply and the first night feeding is the only feeding I don't have to supplement with formula because I am always so full.

But with waiting until 2 I was feeling a bit to engorged and leaking (which I hate due to my low supply), she I decided it was time to pump for 10 mins at 10pm so I wouldn't get as full.

So I started that tonight.... And guess who decided she needed to eat at 11:45pm?! Thats right my little stinker!!! I definitely don't have enough milk stored up in my boobs! I should have know better! But of course, if I hadn't of pumped she would have slept until 3am!

    That's a bummer. That's the exact reason I don't pump past 4pm. My supply is low in the evenings. I took goat's rue and that has dramatically helped my supply. After I nurse in the morning I still get 5-6 oz from pumping.

    Goat's rue is probably the only thing I haven't tried. I am going to look into that!

    Yeah I am in this weird caught situation where the past 2 nights LO has given me a solid 6 hours, which is a record for us... If I would KNOW that she was going to go that long I'd pump because I'm struggling and I hate waking up to saturated milk pads, I feel like it's a waste. I have to supplement her bedtime nurse usually because she cluster feeds before bed and I usually run dry before she's ready to go down... the MOTN and early mornings are the only times of day I don't have to worry about getting bottles ready to supplement now.
