hi - dont know if anyone has some advice for me, but here goes.. my 8 week old (12lbs) is on a 3 hour routine and has a last feed at 6pm. Until a week ago she would regularly wake for a feed between 1 and 2am but this week the norm is closer to 3/4am (no complaints from me
and then only again at 7/8am. Although I am delighted that she is pushing on through the night my problem is how do i maintain a good milk supply for feeding all day but not end up in pain through the night with leaking, swollen boobs?
Would it help to express and if so when? I dont currently do a dream feed and have been wondering about introducing one to see if LO would go through to 7 am, but have been reluctant to play with her routine. I am also worried that if I express I will make the problem worse...
Would appreciate any advice on this and also whether I should introduce a 10pm feed or if this is more likely to just add an extra feed to her existing pattern
thanks!
