Can you loose milk?

@Bianca it’s cause I pump before I sleep but I started not bf at night because my fiancé helps me feed her at night when I’m so tired. So I was a little scared I was going to loose supply if I don’t bf at night but I do pump at like 4am.
@Bianca but I’ll keep bf her at night & do what you do.
I just pump when my boobs hurt which is usually around the time she needs to eat, and bf when she’s hungry after a bottle and when she’s waiting on a bottle. My milk supply only drops when I don’t pump when I’m supposed to.
@Kara oh okay thank you! Yea my right breast is loosing supply due to her not latching good on it. My left is good I make about 8 oz on that. But I was just curious. Thank you!
My fiance works night shift so I have her all the time basically
@Rachel you could try pumping on the right side while she’s latched on the left
@Kara yes that’s what I do but I also feel bad for him because I know he works 😫
@Kara I will do that thank you! You can lose supply if I do that way?
I bf then pump any extra left at 10pm ish and then sleep and wake up and bf then pump at 5am ish. So far I still produce enough for feeds, 4-6oz for my fiancé to night feed with a bottle, and about extra 6-10oz to sash in the freezer per day. I started this routine 1w pp and I’m now 4w pp.
