I am ebf but LO is a really super distracted almost five month old nurser these days. I think the reason she is waking up at night suddenly is because she is not eaing as much during the day and is therefore hungry! She seems to sleep well if we can get like a 7 oz bottle into her before bed on top of nursing. It is not a milk supply thing, she is gaining like a champ.

My question is...I can't pump 7 oz in one sitting at night! Does it matter when I pump the milk? Ideally should I be pumping the same amount that she takes, at the same time? Or could I pump first thing in the am after her first feed and use that later that night? Or multiple times a day? I just don't want to be giving her that much milk at night and not telling my body to make that much!

Thoughts?
