The last couple of nights, LO has started sleeping much longer stretches and only waking up to eat once in the night. It's awesome, but it means I wake up painfully engorged on one side. How long until my boobs catch up with her new sleep schedule?

I have the same question. I switch which side she has in the motn so I don't feel my boobs can really fully adjust. I will say they are t usually painful anymore, just engorged and leaky. Not sure how long that took- a couple weeks?

Same here. I'm also afraid that she's getting mainly foremilk since they are so full.

I think mine took maybe a little less than week? I have also had it happen again after growth spurts!

The problem we've had is my LO's sleep in constantly changing. She had been sleeping a 9-hour first stretch so they were engorged for about a week then it got better. But then she started waking up 2-3 times/night at 4 months. She's 5 months now and slept a 9 hour stretch last night and I was SO engorged!

Omg LO just slept through the night (10-4...) and I couldn't sleep because my clog hurt so bad

Just went through this! It took about a week for them to get the memo.
