how lomg until supply gets used to night feeds?

[Giddyup]

Please excuse ay typos, I/ am eating, feeding and typing! My DD is 10 weeks old and now very nearly seeping 12 hours at night. How lomg will it take for my supply to adjust? I am waking every night in pain and soaking wet! Also if her sleep regresses how long would it take to build up again?

agggh title should read no night feeds

Hi Giddyup. My 16 week old has done a 10 hour stretch for the last 5 nights, having suddenly jumped from a 5 hour stretch! My boobs were agony the first 3 nights but the last 2 have settled down to just being very very full and a bit sore rather than agony! So hoping it is slowly adjusting and will be okay after maybe 10 days to a fortnight (assuming she is still sleeping through by then!)

Don't know, but I am very envious.

Thats good to know megonthemoon, its too cold to get that soggy in th wee small hours- brrrr!

Ah Garlicsheep I know I am a lucky so and so, but she feeds all day long and is a monster to get to nap. She was also 10lb 1/2oz and had to be cut from my womb, hence the big tummy to fill up by bedtime. Also, you gace me some lovely advice and encouragement about Bf when I was preggo so I feel indebted to you and that you are partly responsible for my well fed lump of a child.

A friends baby was similar and now wakes every hour or two so I am not counting my chucks yet, althoguh DS never regressed. He was formula fed by 16 weeks though so not sure if that makes a difference?

DD often need s a formula top up at dinner time as she feeds so so much in the day, but by my bedtime I am already full to the brim. I thought about expressing late at night so top up could be EBM but don't particularly want to prolong the engorgement, I might If this sleeping lasts when I feel less knackered. DD won't take a dream feed either as I greedily thought and extra feed for take her from 11ish hours to 12.
