...a wonderful problem to have... little one ate at 8:45 last night and I have been giving her a paci when she wakes up at night, and then if it doesn't appease her then feeding her. She woke at 11:45, paci and back to sleep, 2, paci and back to sleep and got up at 4:45!! Ahhhh my boobs were killing me, but so happy she slept for 8 hours!!
Babies sleeping through the night when you are BF is both a blessing and a curse. I love the extra sleep, but the extremely full leaking boobs, not so much. Lol
I've been known to wake my son to eat. He sleeps a solid 6 hrs straight every night for the first stretch and has since birth, it was a problem at first since he wasn't waking enough to eat. If he sleeps longer I have to wake him up cause I'm in pain!
Yup. Last night I had to run downstairs and pump for a bit because they were too full and sore to comfortably sleep. After many months of not sleeping on my stomach, I need to now.
DS usually sleeps 2-3 hours, but he slept over 5 hours a few weeks ago. I woke up engorged and in pain at the four hour mark and spent the next two hours convincing myself he would wake up any second, so I shouldn't go pump. The next time I woke up at four hours, I did go pump and he woke up as I was putting everything away. Then I had to deal with a cranky baby since he had trouble getting much when I tried to nurse. I just can't win.
