So I have a 9 week old baby who is breastfed. He has just this week starting sleeping from 8pm-3 or 4am. So 7 or sometimes 8 hours.
What I am wondering is will it affect my supply if he continues like this? I fed my other two children but the first I gave up after a few months, and the second I fed for over a year but she woke up every 3 hours consistently so this issue never came up!
So if new DC sleeps like this for the next few weeks, but then say regresses at 4 months and needs to be fed more frequently at night, will my milk supply have dried up in the night? I have not been pumping during the night, when he has slept til 4 I am quite full but then he has a big feed and I am fine.
I'd like to continue breastfeeding for a year anyway but also would love to think i have one baby who is a reasonably good sleeper!!
