DS has been STTN pretty consistently from about 9-5:30am for about two weeks. He very occasionally will wake up around 3 for a quick nursing session. I wake up painfully engorged and have to sleep with a thick burp cloth so I don't leak everywhere. Wondering if my supply will regulate? If you had this issue, how long did it take for your body to adjust?
ETA: DS will be 10 weeks Sunday

mine took a few days to adjust, but my LOs were older when they started STTN. also, i pump before i go to bed--i know pumping increases supply, but it helps me not wake up engorged and i also build my stash.

It takes a few days to adjust. When DD STTN I wake up before her and hand express a little into the sink. It's so glamorous.

It will regulate in time. I used to get up and pump before he woke up though and I'd still have plenty to feed him afterwards.
I got a lot of frozen milk during that time before I gave up and let it regulate out.
