If you want to build a stash you can pump all you want but your body will just keep producing milk and it won't regulate. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeeding-how-do-i-drop-a-feeding#post-273925 Tue, 28 Aug 2012 18:16:21 +0000 Bluebonnet 273925@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When LO started sleeping through the night, I'd pump as soon as I went to bed. For a little while I'd wake up (in the middle of the night) engorged. I'd pump enough so I could go back to bed comfortably, but not so much that I didn't have enough milk for LO in the morning. My body eventually adjusted and I don't wake up in the middle of the night anymore. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeeding-how-do-i-drop-a-feeding#post-272387 Mon, 27 Aug 2012 13:56:08 +0000 Mrs. Pen 272387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>hmm.... your body generally just stops producing milk for that feeding on it's own.</p> <p>Once we sleep trained by son two weeks ago, he went down to one feeding at night. I was making enough milk for 2-3 feedings. But there was no way I was still going to get up at midnight and another time in the night to pump when I could be sleeping.</p> <p>It was uncomfortable for a few days, but now I only make the amount he needs for his one night feeding. </p> <p>It only took a few days for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeeding-how-do-i-drop-a-feeding#post-271752 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 21:34:30 +0000 Mrs. Confetti 271752@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Any tips for dropping feedings? My LO is FINALLY sleeping fairly consistently at night - occasionally waking but only for comfort, not food - and I've been pumping before I go to sleep because if I don't pump, I wake up with a plugged duct (plus I've trying to build up a freezer stash). So sick of pumping....do I just stop? </p>
