Love this video and your experience! Thank you for sharing. Question for you! My baby is just over 2 weeks old, he’s been consistently waking up every 3 hours to eat at night, so I have not needed to wake him. Last night he slept for 5 hours, is that bad?! How often should I wake him through the night to keep my supply up? How many hours are okay? He eats every 1-3 hours through the day. Thanks again!!
I have the same issue. Initially, we were waking our baby to feed at night (he has never woken us for night feedings). Now the pediatrician says we he can do a 5-6 hr stretch over night but I still wake up and pump in the middle to protect my milk supply. Not sure how long I need to keep doing that. Not sure why he doesn’t wake in his own to feed. It’s never seemed normal to me but everyone says be glad he sleeps and don’t question it.
If your pediatrician is happy with your baby's weight gain, that is great. There are a lot of factors that go into milk supply, but likely you don't need to pump at night anymore if you milk supply is good and your baby is gaining appropriately.
