Do you pump at night?

[mara16jade]

I just got to thinking that when I go back to work, I would pump at work. But do you still pump at night? If LO either STTN or takes a bottle from DH/OH, would you still have to get up and pump?

Thanks!

Bump. Do you pump at night, or can you go until morning?

Hi

My little one is 6 months and I exclusively breastfeed, but have never pumped at night. I have demand fed and she has just started sleeping through from her late night feed at 10.30 to 7am. She originally fed at 10ish, 2ish and 5ish, then went down to 10.30pm and 3am. Your supply is driven by babys demand so if you can pump enough during the day (or want to supplement this with formula) you shouldn't need to pump at night, as your body will get used to your schedule and adapt.
