2 month old baby sleeping through - supply issues?

My 2mo feeds at least every 2 hours during the day. Has his bedtime feed at 8pm then often goes 8-9 hours before waking for another feed. Will my supply be ok?

It should be. Enjoy it and keep your fingers crossed for the 4 month sleep regression Smile

@DuaLipaSuction oh I remember it well with my 4yo Sad he didn't recover until he was 6 months.
Ds1 never slept this long at this age, only 6 hours

Wow you're lucky to have two who did good stretches so early Smile

My baby is 3mo now and slept through from very early. To be honest as a v clueless FTM who had luckily been feeding without any problems I didn’t even think about supply. We had a good few weeks of amazing night sleep 7-7 and I initially was able to get a decent 3-4oz haaka stash off one boob the next morn and had to wear milk catchers overnight. I even did quite a few where DH gave an expressed bottle for the last feed so I really was going absolutely ages with no nursing or actively pumping. I felt recently that he was a bit hungrier in the evening and my boobs weren’t leaking at all anymore and felt soft always. My morning haaka dropped to 1-2oz. I got really scared I’d ruined supply so have been necking fennel tea, feeding loads during the day (think he is having a growth spurt) and I also added a dream feed when I go to bed. I think all are helping. Also as above I reckon sleep regression will probably shock the boobs back into overdrive soon !

NW I think from what you've said it's just that your body is more in tune with your baby's needs, hence the softer boobs and the lower amount at pumping.

If you are concerned at all though I'd give one of the BFing Helplines a call and talk it through.
