LO wakes up once a night, but when she's teething it's more often and honestly I'm way too tired to do that.</p> <p>I just decreased the amount of ounces in her bottles that we send to the nanny share because the nanny was telling me that she usually ends up throwing out an ounce or two from each bottle now that LO is eating a lot more. I still pump 3x a day though. Don't know when I'm going to drop those, she's almost a year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wake-up-to-pump#post-694416 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 13:20:16 +0000 banana 694416@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With my son, i woke up at 3am every night for a year. :( Sucked big time booty. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wake-up-to-pump#post-694375 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 13:06:53 +0000 Amelieisme 694375@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You all are some dedicated mamas! I'm impressed. I think I woke up for a week or two and pumped at night when trying to build my supply after LO had a tongue tie. I haven't done that since though, even though my supply is still hit or miss. We have supplemented with 1 formula bottle/day since 5.5 mo or so. Hats off to all of you waking up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wake-up-to-pump#post-694360 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 13:02:09 +0000 mediagirl 694360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. If I have to, I'll supplement with formula. My freezer stash is down to one large ziplock and that is slowly being used.... My lo is almost 10 months old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wake-up-to-pump#post-694354 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 13:00:33 +0000 filly 694354@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My g/g twins will be 5 months in two days and I pump 1 every 4 hours during day and 1 every 5 hrs at night. I try to pump between 9-10pm that way I can get a good sleep stretch &amp; I pump at around 2-3am then I sleep for about 4 more hrs! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wake-up-to-pump#post-694265 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 12:30:26 +0000 beachbee 694265@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was waking up twice to pump for a few months because LO was sleeping for longer stretches. Apparently she's over that and back to waking up every few hours so I nurse instead of pump. I don't remember the last time I've slept more than 3-4 hours at night. Ugh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wake-up-to-pump#post-694173 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 11:54:59 +0000 anbanan15 694173@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did for a very long time...I can't remember exactly, but at least the first year. I was terrified of my supply dropping and breastmilk while I was on a TED was the safest thing for DS to eat/drink so it was very important to maintain. DS wasn't STTN so it wasn't like I was interrupting my excellent sleep anyway.</p> <p>ETA: DS was still nursing several times a night when he stopped at 21 months, so I would pump in addition to night feeding. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wake-up-to-pump#post-694150 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 11:45:34 +0000 mamabolt 694150@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hells to the no. I value my sleep way too much! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wake-up-to-pump#post-694125 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 11:36:22 +0000 purrpletulips 694125@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I tried after DD started sleeping through the night but ended up sleeping through my alarm. Since DS is still getting up at least once a night I haven't needed to yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wake-up-to-pump#post-693653 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 08:56:51 +0000 regberadaisy 693653@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LaineysMom: thank you! I am really hoping to not introduce cow's milk until 13 months. But I think I might have to readjust those plans. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wake-up-to-pump#post-689843 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 21:55:26 +0000 LaineysMom 689843@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: I just read your other post about almost being at a year. Congrats! If I was at 1 year, I would not be pumping in the middle of the night.. I look forward to the day when I can switch to cows milk.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wake-up-to-pump#post-689836 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 21:53:15 +0000 LaineysMom 689836@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not any more. When LO was 1 week old she had to be readmitted to the hospital. I would nurse her at night when I could, but when we didn't make it back on time (or I was too tired) I would wake up and pump. Sooo shitty.. </p> <p>She was released after 1 week and luckily that was the last time I had to pump in the middle of the night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wake-up-to-pump#post-689611 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 20:48:27 +0000 regberadaisy 689611@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>M already limited supply is dwindling. :( so now in emergency situations I wake up in the middle of the night to pump. </p>
