Night feeds

[SjandPeanut]

My girl is 6 weeks old and generally she cluster feeds until 10/11pm then settles for bed. She wakes at 12.30, 2.30 and 4.30 for feeds but only feeds for five minutes the goes back to sleep.

I'm. Im not worried about the awake times but i am worried she isn't feeding enough and my supply will diminish of she doesn't feed enough at night.

I know night feeding is important for supply so should I pump at night to keep up supply?

Sounds perfectly normal to me, my LO had a very similar schedule at the age.

As I understand it your supply should be fine as long as there is no more than 4 hours between feeds during the day or 6 hours during the night.

You do t need to express, it'll just give you an oversupply. Your boobs produce exactly the amount of milk your baby needs, if she's hungry, she'll wake up & feed, if she's not, she won't. Don't worry. Sounds like you're doing things perfectly.

That sounds good to me , she is probably just topping up to see her through the night
