Hellobee Boards

@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..

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.

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.

ETA: DS was still nursing several times a night when he stopped at 21 months, so I would pump in addition to night feeding.

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 & I pump at around 2-3am then I sleep for about 4 more hrs!

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!

My supply is dwindling but I don't wake up to pump. 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.

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.
