That's dedication lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/woh-moms-do-you-pump-at-night#post-445068 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 14:44:19 +0000 autumnlove 445068@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, LO went to bed around 8 when I went back to work and I would pump at 10, 12 and 2 for the first few months! Then only 2 times... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/woh-moms-do-you-pump-at-night#post-445063 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 14:42:30 +0000 Amelieisme 445063@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh my gosh! That is dedication. I have never been able to wake myself up to do something. Only if baby wakes me do I get up to do anything at night. I have been back at work since he was 2 months (now 4.5) and have never gotten up to pump at night. I am starting to struggle a bit to keep up with him now, but I still haven't given any formula at all and I think that's pretty good for 4.5 months. My schedule is this:</p> <p>Nurse around 5 am one side only. Pump the other side.<br /> (I find if I give both sides he just spits up a ton and he seems happy taking just one at this time of day.)<br /> Nurse (both sides) at 8 am before I leave.<br /> Pump 2-3 times at work, depending on my schedule.<br /> Nurse 2 (both sides) times at night before bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/woh-moms-do-you-pump-at-night#post-445001 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 14:14:29 +0000 Protectlove 445001@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh the elusive question of whether or not to pump at night. I ask myself this almost everyday but I can't bear to give up that milk. Monday- Friday I get up in the night to pump so I have the peace of mind that there is more than enough milk ready for the time that I am at work. My LO is 4.5 months now and that extra milk has been so helpful in the last few weeks since her intake has increased.<br /> So my pump/nurse schedule on average looks like this- 6:30 a.m. pump since LO is still sleeping, 11:00 a.m. pump at work, 2:30 p.m. pump, 5:00- 8:00 p.m. nurse LO at least 3 times ( I think this helps keep my supply up) 2:00 a.m. pump and sometime nurse Lo after pumping or nurse around 5:00 a.m.<br /> Being dedicated to BF is its own kind of labor of love. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/woh-moms-do-you-pump-at-night#post-444954 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 13:56:10 +0000 purrpletulips 444954@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yellowbird: WOW, I'd love to pump 8oz in one session. </p> <p>I do not routinely pump at night but DS still gets up one time to nurse overnight (between 2-4AM). I nurse before leaving for work, pump 3x at work and then nurse 2x before I got to bed at 10PM, sometimes I'll pump at 8PM but not always. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/woh-moms-do-you-pump-at-night#post-444075 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 22:14:05 +0000 mrs. wagon 444075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yellowbird: If I were you I'd give it a shot and if your supply dips, just go back to doing a night pumping. The sleep is worth the risk, I think!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/woh-moms-do-you-pump-at-night#post-444061 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 22:03:49 +0000 yellowbird 444061@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm going to try to sleep through the night again tonight. I just pumped before bed and got 8 oz so I feel pretty good about it. I hate being so obsessed with my supply! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/woh-moms-do-you-pump-at-night#post-444046 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 21:55:38 +0000 mrs. wagon 444046@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yellowbird: I think about 3.5 months? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/woh-moms-do-you-pump-at-night#post-444037 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 21:50:09 +0000 yellowbird 444037@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How old was your LO when you stopped pumping at night? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/woh-moms-do-you-pump-at-night#post-444033 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 21:48:26 +0000 mrs. wagon 444033@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've dropped to 4 pumps a day (6am, 11am, 3:30pm, 10pm) and my supply has kept steady, thankfully. But in the beginning I did get up and pump at night during her night feedings, around 2 or 3am. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/woh-moms-do-you-pump-at-night#post-444030 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 21:46:48 +0000 yellowbird 444030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I nurse my LO (3.5 months) before work, pump three times at work, and nurse her 1-2 more times in the evening. I have been getting up to pump in the middle of the night because she sleeps through. Do I have to continue doing this? It's getting really annoying, but I'm worried I'm not emptying enough times during the day and my supply will drop. </p> <p>What do you do?? </p>
