[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you pump before bed? That’s the only way I survive with my 6 month old who’s starting to STTN more reliably.[/quote]

No I wanted to get my body to regulate and get rid of my oversupply.  I had so much in my freezer I donated it all to a milk bank.  [/quote]

Oh man. But you said you think you make exactly enough? Are you looking for tips for surviving the night without getting painfully engorged?[/quote]

Same PP. I’d skip the last feed, use some frozen milk instead then pump in place of the last feed (closer to your bedtime) so you can get some rest.[/quote]

Oh I'm sleeping 11-730.  It's glorious.  I used to wake up from the boob pain but it's not THAT bad anymore.  I don't have any frozen milk.  I donated it all a few months ago (almost 200 oz).

I mean, right now for example, I pumped at 2 to give the nanny milk. I pumped for 20 minutes to get enough for a 4 oz bottle.  But my boobs hurt still.  They feel lumpy like they are full of milk.  It's slightly better on the weekends when she eats from me and no bottles.  I rarely feel empty.  I feel engorged constantly and like I can't pump all the milk out.  The baby doesn't eat long enough for it either.  [/quote]
