It'll cue your body that you don't need as much milk overnight, making it much easier to drop feeds.</p> <p>Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/epers-pumping-in-the-middle-of-the-night#post-1992908 Sat, 20 Dec 2014 13:38:25 +0000 Mrs. Tiger 1992908@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Or, if you typically go 4-5 hours between pumps/nursing sessions, stretch it to 6, then 7, etc until you can drop it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/epers-pumping-in-the-middle-of-the-night#post-1992905 Sat, 20 Dec 2014 13:29:55 +0000 Anagram 1992905@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think you can just drop 1 at a time without doing anything special-- just start skipping it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/epers-pumping-in-the-middle-of-the-night#post-1992899 Sat, 20 Dec 2014 13:15:49 +0000 Pumpkin Pie 1992899@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am mostly pumping, but nursing in the middle of the night because its easier, and LO seems to do it for comfort rather than hunger. </p> <p>She has now been sleeping longer stretches at night, but I still get up to pump 1-2x in the middle of the night because my boobs hurt! Any tips on how I can stop without pain or getting an infection? I need that long stretch of sleep! </p>
