Quick supply/expressing question.

Feeding is going well at the moment I think but the last 3 nights G has fed constantly until 1 am ish then slept for 6 hours! I've been pumping one side whilst she feeds the other when she wakes because I'm bursting and I'm using the milk for DH to give in the evening.
Just wondering if I should be pumping inbetween that so its not a 6 hour stretch of no feeding or stimulation? I'm assuming if she keeps this pattern up my body will adjust? I'm still worried I haven't got enough milk to satisfy her even though she's gaining weight etc. I struggle to have confidence in my body as I can't see what's going in!

Thank you!

You don't need to pump in between. If you do, your body will produce even more and you'll be more bursting!!

If you want to get freezer stocks up, there's no harm in it, but if it's just in case she changes feeding habits, I wouldn't worry.
You sound like you have shed loads of milk, if she starts needing more regular feeds for any reason, just pop her on the boob and milk will flow!

Don't stress, have faith in your body. It's not on a timer

You obviously do have plenty of milk cc and are doing great :-)

Another who wouldn't pump I between the bursting boob will calm down after a couple of days

Thanks both, that's what I thought but this whole breast feeding thing is making me worry about everything!

Gosh no, I'd be sleeping! Your body will adapt to this stint of her being asleep, make the most of it!

Sounds like you're doing a fab job, well done both of you!
