dd, 5 months, has slept from about 7 pm till 7 am for a couple of months with a dream feed at about 11. I decided to drop the dream feed last weekend to see what happened and she just slept straight through. She's done this for the whole of this week which is great.
Only thing is, i'm waking at about 5.30am really uncomfortable and my breasts are rock hard. I've been getting up and expressing some milk then going back to sleep but i obviously can't carry on doing this as i guess my body will think it needs to keep producing at that time. Over the last few nights i've tried to express a little less each time - from 4 to 3 1/2 to 3 oz.
Is this the best thing to do?
I've also noticed that ner nappy is hardly wet in the morning. Is this cause for concern?
