milk production

[babyrose]

my wee one is 26 wks only just started sleeping all night! which in the morning meant that my boobs were full. but this wk wee one is waking up at half 5 or half 6 hungry.ive tried expressing this wk with only getting an oz, has him sleeping all night affected my milk?

Yes it will do! I have a 5 week old, and two older children who were bf for 8 months. The first few times they slept longer at night I woke up engorged but it only takes a few days for your body to respond and make less milk. If your baby regularly wakes at this time then you will still be making enough. If not, you may have to just keep swapping sides and let it build back up again - don't worry, it will.

I'll also say that unless your're a dab hand at expressing, you won't get anywhere near as much milk with a pump as you would with lo feeding, so don't worry about how little you're expressing.
I'm hopeless at it, just about to try with my 5 week old but I'm not holding my breath!!

i was expressing quite regularly but stopped for a while, i was getting a good amount b4. i tried again not that long ago got more than 1! i was wanting to stop bf altogether as i was loosing 2 much weight.
