T was sleeping like that a couple months ago and is now up at 11/2/5 most days! My supply bounced to accommodate it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-let-your-ebf-2-month-old-sttn#post-2283758 Sat, 05 Sep 2015 07:06:43 +0000 Dandelion 2283758@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! Lucky you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-let-your-ebf-2-month-old-sttn#post-2283756 Sat, 05 Sep 2015 07:05:25 +0000 delight 2283756@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes yes yes! Our DD started sleeping 10 hours at the 10 week point. I must admit the first few nights I would wake up and check on her but after that I relaxed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-let-your-ebf-2-month-old-sttn#post-2283750 Sat, 05 Sep 2015 06:45:35 +0000 danda 2283750@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter started STTN at 11 weeks (and stopped at 4 months) - I had pretty bad engorgement so I pumped for comfort and to build up a freezer stash....ended up with a pretty big oversupply in the beginning but it was amazing to have that stash. At first I pumped in the middle of the night but then switched to right before I went to bed and right after the first morning feed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-let-your-ebf-2-month-old-sttn#post-2283670 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 22:50:28 +0000 Mrs.Pinecone316 2283670@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>YES! Enjoy the sleep. my LO was a great sleeper at 2 months and then 3 months hit and it all went to hell and I've been up a few times a night ever since. Seriously, let that baby and yourself sleep! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-let-your-ebf-2-month-old-sttn#post-2283356 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 15:44:02 +0000 autumnlove 2283356@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Of course! LO 1 started at 8 weeks and LO 2started at 5-6 weeks and I always let them sleep. I usually pumped a few times while they slept! Ugh, looking forward to the day when my newborn STTN... :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-let-your-ebf-2-month-old-sttn#post-2283333 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 15:22:06 +0000 lemondrop 2283333@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Absolutely! I pumped right before bed just to help my supply and my freezer stash and took whatever sleep stretches they would give me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-let-your-ebf-2-month-old-sttn#post-2283303 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 15:01:09 +0000 mauxie 2283303@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That sounds like a dream! Neither of my EBF babes STTN until after 1! I wouldn't be worried about my supply, I think your body will adjust accordingly; though it'll probably take a few days of waking up with leaky boobs :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-let-your-ebf-2-month-old-sttn#post-2283295 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 14:55:46 +0000 Thenetexan 2283295@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Experiences vary and there is probably not a one size fits all answer. I did vote to not wake based on my experience. Both of mine STTN early. They were also both big babies. I did not wake either past two weeks of age. No sense creating a habit for them. With my first I woke up and pumped around 4 am. I built a great freezer stash. I also found it terribly hard to fall back asleep. Once I saw there would be no 4 month sleep regression, I also slept through the night. With my second, I had a better comfort level with the fact that my body would produce milk as needed, even if there was a regression. I did not wake to pump, though did have some engorgement to overcome! Sleep was glorious. My freezer stash suffered, but I knew I was not returning to work. And when my second had a sleep regression, my middle of the night supply was still there to feed him. I never had a supply issue with either baby and nursed each 15.5 months+. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-let-your-ebf-2-month-old-sttn#post-2283293 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 14:52:14 +0000 mamabolt 2283293@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sleep sleep sleep! If you are struggling with pumping output then you could add a MotN pump but if not why complicate things! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-let-your-ebf-2-month-old-sttn#post-2283277 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 14:41:16 +0000 winniebee 2283277@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would absolutely let him sleep and would not pump MOTN unless you want rock hard boobs when you feel like sleeping! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-let-your-ebf-2-month-old-sttn#post-2283237 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 13:55:51 +0000 catlady 2283237@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow, I would totally let him do it. If your supply drops, I'd add a pump session right before you go to bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-let-your-ebf-2-month-old-sttn#post-2283226 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 13:49:10 +0000 Mrs Hedgehog 2283226@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Uhm, yes!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-let-your-ebf-2-month-old-sttn#post-2283211 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 13:36:12 +0000 Tidybee 2283211@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A has been sleeping 9 hours at night, and my supply has just regulated without taking a hit at all. You won't want to be waking up with bursting and leaking boobs when you could be getting precious sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-let-your-ebf-2-month-old-sttn#post-2283133 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 12:52:22 +0000 californiadreams 2283133@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i would and i wouldn't pump any extra, from what i understand, your body is supposed to adjust to when your baby feeds, so it should all work out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-let-your-ebf-2-month-old-sttn#post-2283130 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 12:51:03 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2283130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup I would/I plan on it if ds does! I'd pump if supply was an issue but no way would I wake him up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-let-your-ebf-2-month-old-sttn#post-2283065 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 12:11:09 +0000 LindsayInNY 2283065@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Q has been sleeping long stretches since the very beginning. It went from 5-6 hour stretches to 9-10 hour ones. We had one week where I woke her to feed because she wasn't gaining. Otherwise we don't wake her. I wake up naturally in the middle of the night and pump since it's the only time I pump. I don't *have* to but feel better having that milk for a bottle. I asked the doctor at her two month appointment this week and she said it's not normal but to go with it lol. She said Q will just eat more in quantity and frequency during the day to make up for the lack of night feedings. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-let-your-ebf-2-month-old-sttn#post-2283036 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 11:58:49 +0000 littlebug 2283036@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup. I stopped waking him up for feedings at 5 days old. With the blessing of the pediatrician. At 5 weeks, he was consistently sleeping 9p-5/6a. I had no problems with supply - built up a good stash before returning to work and was able to EBF for 12m (and continued BF till 14m). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-let-your-ebf-2-month-old-sttn#post-2283020 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 11:52:28 +0000 mrsbubbletea 2283020@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My baby did that and I just nursed on demand all day long. Lots of cuddling on the couch for naps and netflix! And guess what. It didn't last. 3 mo growth spurt--4mo sleep regression--moving to the crib... Enjoy it while it lasts! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-let-your-ebf-2-month-old-sttn#post-2282970 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 11:31:22 +0000 Mrs Spoon 2282970@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Um YES!! It likely won't last forever so enjoy it while it lasts. My LO started STTN similarily at 9 weeks and around 17 or 18 weeks went through a regression with 1-3 wake ups. She started STTN again around 10-11 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-let-your-ebf-2-month-old-sttn#post-2282951 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 11:18:03 +0000 snowjewelz 2282951@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@simplyfelicity: absolutely! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-let-your-ebf-2-month-old-sttn#post-2282949 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 11:17:09 +0000 simplyfelicity 2282949@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: Bahahaha!!

No way I'm waking them to feed! It didn't affect my supply, your body will adjust to him eating more in the morning. Enjoy the sleep! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-let-your-ebf-2-month-old-sttn#post-2282933 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 11:09:27 +0000 snowjewelz 2282933@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would, that is amazing! Maybe just try to pump right before bed, and nurse her as soon as she's up? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-let-your-ebf-2-month-old-sttn#post-2282908 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 10:57:53 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2282908@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I sure did! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-let-your-ebf-2-month-old-sttn#post-2282902 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 10:54:19 +0000 sarac 2282902@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My first daughter STTN from 2-5 months, and it was heavenly. She abruptly stopped at 5 months and my supply had no trouble adjusting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-let-your-ebf-2-month-old-sttn#post-2282900 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 10:52:50 +0000 Alivoo01 2282900@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hell to the yes!!
