Breastfeeding & Co-sleeping questions

zerolivia · Apr 9th, 2012, 16:35 PM

So I co-sleep and Cayden is 3 months old now. We have no problem sleeping at night and I love having her in bed with me mostly because if she gets hungry I can just roll on my side and feed her. (So convenient! I love it.) But now that she's sleeping more through the night I kinda want to start putting her in her crib. I don't want her getting stuck sleeping with me. When is a good time to start putting her in her crib? I'll have to invest in those baby monitor things.

Now the very IMPORTANT breastfeeding question. If Cayden starts sleeping through the night more or all night, how long can I go without feeding or pumping? Of course my boobs get really full if I don't feed her more than 3 or 4 hours. If she sleeps all night is that bad for my boobies? I reaalllyyy don't wanna have to wake up and pump in the middle of the night. But if I have to then I will.

I have only just started putting Amari into a bed, tbh i wish i had done it sooner, but its defiantly one of those things that can only be done when you are mutually ready

If Cayden starts sleeping more in the night, your supply will regulate to match her needs, so there is NO need to worry about that at all at this stage
