... If you felt your boob was going to explode? Haha
She's going on 5 hours - I already pumped one side and need to pump the other but I'm afraid she'll want to nurse and I won't have anything left for her.
-
HAhaa I never woke my kids to eat. Man. Totally remember the pain of an engorged boob though!!
-
I never did that with C... I would just pump and then let her nurse (what she could manage to get out of both sides!) and give her the pumped milk if she was still hungry.
-
I'd pump just enough for relief. I dont wake the sleeping baby
-
I'd pump!
-
I'd definitely pump lol. When she wakes up let her nurse and if she still is hungry/fussy afterward I'd offer some of the pumped milk.
Your boob must hurt so bad! Mine start to get sore after 4 hours!
-
I would just pump a little so it doesn't hurt so bad!
-
I would pump
-
never! pump!
-
I'd pump enough for some relief.
-
I'd pump! You'll probably still have enough left for her to nurse. If not you can just give her the pumped milk.
-
i totally woke my kid up! ha.
-
Just pump a little bit!
-
I'd pump - Aaron did a monster 5hr stretch last night AND I'm block feeding because of over active letdown - so the boob he needed to feed from at 230am hadn't been drained in about 8 hours!! Poor baby got a shot straight to the eyes. I had to lean over the toilet to hand express before I could feed him cause my pump was downstairs and I was too lazy to get it! Don't let it happen to you!!
-
If it were daytime I'd wake LO, night time heck no
-
a 5 hour nap?! whoa! jealous! haha! i've never waken dd up from a nap but she has NEVER taken a monster nap before. sigh. i would just pump a little bit to relieve the boob.
-
I never woke up C (#1) once we hit a good weight gain, but I've totally woken up E (#2) to do this... guess I've gotten braver
I wake him up for a while before I go to bed to wear him out some, then tank him just before bed.
-
@Bao: this! If its daytime I wake her to eat at 3.5 or 4 hours tops!
@lemondrop: ha, I make sure she's up in the evening to wear her out too. No way I'd have done that with J. -
If it was daytime, yes. Night, no way.
-
@BabyBoecksMom: my ped said wake her during the day, never more than 4 hours...
