Supply is all good. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-pump-when-lo-started-sttn#post-1071058 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 19:47:18 +0000 Adira 1071058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! Xander goes 8-9 hours between feeds now at 6 months and I don't ever pump between! Sometimes I'll pump right after his last feed for the night if I feel like he didn't empty me, and I always wake up VERY full, but it hasn't affected my supply at all! Get some sleep, lady! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-pump-when-lo-started-sttn#post-1071049 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 19:33:48 +0000 heartonastring 1071049@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh heck no!

Yay, sleep :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-pump-when-lo-started-sttn#post-1069294 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 23:41:35 +0000 autumnlove 1069294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do but I don't really enjoy sleeping! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-pump-when-lo-started-sttn#post-1069260 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 23:09:56 +0000 Smurfette 1069260@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-pump-when-lo-started-sttn#post-1069131 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 21:55:07 +0000 Foodnerd81 1069131@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The first time C slept for more than 6 hours I was so engorged I had to get up to pump, but otherwise no. Your body will adjust but if you keep pumping it will think you need the milk then. It would be a good way to build a stash though, since you have the most in the early morning. I value sleep more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-pump-when-lo-started-sttn#post-1069121 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 21:51:02 +0000 PurpleUnicorn 1069121@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There was a magical period in my life when L STTN 9-10 straight hours every night and I would pump one side in the morning, I bulg a stash that way. Did I ever wake up to pump? Heck no! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-pump-when-lo-started-sttn#post-1069112 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 21:47:19 +0000 mamabolt 1069112@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Unless you are really struggling with supply issues, sleep! Your body will get used to your baby's schedule and make what they need when they need. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-pump-when-lo-started-sttn#post-1069110 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 21:46:22 +0000 emg86 1069110@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. I usually will pump right before I go to bed though just so I'm not super engorged in the mornings. It took about 2 months for my supply to regulate so I'm not painfully engorged anymore. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-pump-when-lo-started-sttn#post-1068960 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 20:51:53 +0000 immabeetoo 1068960@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hell. No. To me supply = what the baby needs. So if the baby is sleeping, he/she will regulate and tell your body what he/she needs during the day hours and your body will ante up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-pump-when-lo-started-sttn#post-1068935 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 20:46:41 +0000 DillonLion 1068935@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never. I sleep when the baby sleeps. But, I've always had supply issues because I have a really good sleeping baby...so it is a toss up for me on which was better. Although I did like all that sleep :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-pump-when-lo-started-sttn#post-1068891 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 20:34:49 +0000 JerricaBenton 1068891@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO has slept through the night the majority of the time since 3 months and I've never pumped at night. Close to 7 months and no supply issues. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-pump-when-lo-started-sttn#post-1068882 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 20:32:42 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1068882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Go sleep. I didn't pump until LO was seven months. My supply has been perfect from the beginning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-pump-when-lo-started-sttn#post-1068859 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 20:28:38 +0000 mrsbookworm 1068859@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS just started sleeping for a 6 hour stretch this week. I've been pumping about 3 hours in for the past few nights but wouldn't mind sleeping instead. Will this affect my supply though? </p>
