Just to let you know I dropped it last night and she only woke at 2am for a feed and straight back down. Up for the day at 6 though but I think I could have got away with that as a night feed and started the day later but she did have a 6.30pm bed last night so I just got her up. Quite good actually as I can have her up and back down before dealing with DS. Gone down no probs and fed really well this morning too. Quite gutte that the DF didn't take as it was so good with DS but lets hope it means better sleep for her at night.  :)

It she is that reliable at night I doubt the feed will last long  :).

And if she is good like that I would just feed at extra wake ups from time to time as they are likely GSs to stimulate your supply.

Remember NFs pre 16 weeks really help with protecting your milk supply post 6 mths, as the hormones that control milk production are highest in the very early morning.

 I really dont mind feeding her in the night. I think thats mostly due to BF'ing, it is alot easier in the night than bottle feeding! Akso knowing thats she's my last it doesn't seem as bad.

I wouldn't mind feeding over night if I could darn well stay awake...it's when I wake up with her 3 hours later with a huge crick in my neck that I don't like feeding ON as much :)

Sweetie I think you are doing a great job and hopefully your LO will be back sleeping good long times very soon!!

 This is my problem...I wake up an hour later with her lying next to me fast asleep! She does love the bed so I really need to wake myself up more. I just love those snuggles though.
