There was maybe one night that I got up and manually expressed into the sink, but it did regulate itself pretty quickly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ebf-and-sttn-what-did-you-do-to-help-yourself-adjust#post-1617345 Tue, 06 May 2014 18:17:54 +0000 meganmp 1617345@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It was a pretty quick adjustment, from what I recall. Both kids started STTN the same night, and I went from a nurse and a pump (nursing one side, pumping the other) to nothing. It suuuuuuuucked, but I just pumped after I nursed in the morning, and it regulated itself pretty quickly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ebf-and-sttn-what-did-you-do-to-help-yourself-adjust#post-1617289 Tue, 06 May 2014 17:36:18 +0000 gilmoregirl 1617289@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My baby started sleeping a long stretch at night, and I would pump to empty in the morning which prolonged the pain. I switched to pumping just an ounce or two for relief and to be sure he could latch, and my supply regulated after a week or two. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ebf-and-sttn-what-did-you-do-to-help-yourself-adjust#post-1617268 Tue, 06 May 2014 17:16:56 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1617268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Running Elley: I would still pump for 5 minutes right when I woke up to relieve some of the engorgement/pain.. it still adjusted after a few days! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ebf-and-sttn-what-did-you-do-to-help-yourself-adjust#post-1617228 Tue, 06 May 2014 16:41:10 +0000 Boheme 1617228@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Running Elley: He was waking up right at 4:50 to eat, and I was leaving at 5 so it worked out. Now I'm back to working out at night and he's sleeping til 6-7-ish. I bet your supply will regulate though, and you can let her sleep! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ebf-and-sttn-what-did-you-do-to-help-yourself-adjust#post-1617223 Tue, 06 May 2014 16:39:09 +0000 Running Elley 1617223@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: I think I'm going to have to pump when I wake up too...I usually wake up quite a bit before her normal wake up time!</p> <p>@grizz: Were you already doing early morning workouts at the time? I've been waking Emmy up to nurse (even though it's probably considered more of a dreamfeed...) before I go to the gym (usually around 4am) because she was still waking up normally between 4 and 5 anyway. If she keeps up STTN though I'm not sure if I should stop doing that and just let her sleep? I'm hoping my supply will regulate so I'm not engorged when I go work out...or I'll have to pump before I go? Idk! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ebf-and-sttn-what-did-you-do-to-help-yourself-adjust#post-1617209 Tue, 06 May 2014 16:35:50 +0000 Boheme 1617209@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It adjusted pretty quickly for me! Just a few nights. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ebf-and-sttn-what-did-you-do-to-help-yourself-adjust#post-1617207 Tue, 06 May 2014 16:35:01 +0000 autumnlove 1617207@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I pumped twice for a few months after LO started STTN. I gradually went down to one and eventually to 0.</p> <p>I pump when I wake up at 5:45! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ebf-and-sttn-what-did-you-do-to-help-yourself-adjust#post-1617190 Tue, 06 May 2014 16:26:43 +0000 Running Elley 1617190@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD is 5.5 months old and EBF. She's been getting close to completely sleeping through the night (no wake ups) for awhile and last night she did it! She slept from 8pm-7:30am.</p> <p>The sleep was awesome but when I woke up I was in so much pain! I woke up almost an hour before she ended up waking up and finally I used my manual pump and just pumped a little off of each side for comfort. I know that if I keep doing that though my supply won't adjust for STTN, right? Do I just tough it out? </p>
