After a few nights of no nursing your supply will go down during the night and you shouldn't be in much pain in the morning. I always had a lot of milk in the morning and that's when I could pump the most. I would nurse on one side while pumping on the other. It shouldn't affect your supply during the day though as long as you keep nursing or pumping every 4 hours or so.Date: 2/22/2010 1:39:06 PM

Just jumping on with a real quick question. For those BFing moms whose babies STTN, does your milk to start to regulate itself so that you are not making as much at night? Does that affect your supply during the day?
Little E is finally starting to get the hang of this sleep thing. Last night he slept from 9:30 all the way thru to 6:00 this morning! I was ecstatic, but also a little bit in pain. I fed him at 6:30 this morning, and was already feeling engorged again by 9:30. I usually only pump every 4 hours at work, but I ended up needing to pump at 10:00 because I couldn't handle it anymore. I ended up pumping 15oz! No wonder I was in pain!
Will this start to relieve itself naturally? I'm concerned that if the milk production goes down at night, it may also go down during the day, when he is still eating every 4 or so hours. Any input from the BTDT moms?
How old is E? Yay for STTN!
