Hi All,
Just a quick post - hope I am not gloating too much but I just had my 3rd night in a row of Charlotte 'sleeping through'. The first 2 nights she slept 10pm until 4.30am and last night was 8.30pm until 5am. She feeds every hour from 5pm until bedtime and after the early morning feed, she goes back to sleep until about 9am. I am getting soooo much sleep!!
The one problem with this - my very, very engorged boobs in the morning - they woke me up before she did this morning. I had to pump out 200mls from one boob whilst she fed on the other because I was sooo uncomfortable and already I can feel that I have filled up enough to keep me going for the day. I am wondering if I am risking losing my supply with her going so long between feeds. Do you think I should express both boobs until they are empty after she has gone to sleep at night so that they have all night to fill?? It will help me to build up my milk supply in the freezer anyway??
Hope the sleep fairies visit your place soon too!!
