Could 5 week old sleep hours affect supply?

[optimistic1]

She sleeps long stretches through the night 4-5 hours and through the day anywhere from 2-4 hours. I was always told not to wake a sleeping baby so I try to let her be but if I'm awake I don't let her go past 4 hours because I feel that's long enough for her age. She eats good and she's gaining weight I'm just worried that this is affecting my supply. I had issues with over supply before my boobs were always hard and she was getting way too much foremilk so I did blocked feeding for about a week and it helped but now my boobs only get hard in the morning after her long hours of sleep and there not engorged just full and the rest of the day there soft. How can you tell if your supply is too low? Would there be obvious signs from my daughter or would she stop gaining weight or what? (she's always satisfied after feeds but sometimes I have to offer both breasts when she used to get full off of one.)

It sounds like you're doing really well and your LO is satisfied. If she has plenty of wet and dirty nappies and is gaining weight then everything is great. You'll be hitting the 6 week growth spurt soon and won't be worrying that she's going too long between feeds anymore!!

Yeah I spoke way too soon I'm at the start of this growth spurt been up since 7 pm feeding and fighting sleep its now 3 am....so tired!
