Exclusively BF moms - how are you getting on with night sleeps? I keep seeing lots of moms say their babies sleep from 10-6am, but I don’t get how their breasts don’t explode by morning 😅
Do you at least dream feed for relief?

EBF and not getting more than 3/4 hours for the first sleep, then second is 2 hours then third is less than 2 hours etc etc 🙈

That’s pretty much us too…My LO also falls asleep too early 7/8pm, so by the time I go to sleep at 11/12, I hardly get any sleep since his longer first sleep is already over 😅

My daughter feeds approx 3 times a night, sometimes more, sometimes less x

My LG is EBF and sleeps 9pm to 8/9am with one feed in between, usually around 3 am. Then she sleeps a bit more with me in bed (1-2 h). She is gaining weight at a good pace and is a happy potato. She is now 10 weeks but started doing 5-6h stretches from week 5 and a half. She was not a great napper, but it’s now getting much better. During the day she feeds around 9 times. But since the nights are so good I have zero complaints
PS: yes, my breasts sometimes leak during the night 🤷🏻♀️

Around 3 feeds a night. Have been co sleeping too cos she wants to be held a lot.
Honestly this is my second baby and I know this doesn't last. So just staying positive and cracking on.
BF babies always wake up. It's completely normal.

Right there with you!!!

So I put him in his crib to begin with, then when he wakes I pop him next to me in bed and feed him laying down, and we co-sleep the rest of the night. He usually wakes around 1:30 and 4:30 where he has a poop, then up around 6:30. I prefer baby waking up at night so that it keeps my supply up and it also decreases the chances of sids x

I’m breastfeeding my daughter and she only wakes up once or twice to be honest. No idea how because my older ones used to wake constantly. I give her a dream feed around 11pm and then she sleeps until like 3/4am and then again at 6 and I get up for the day then

Mine is EBF and usually sleeps 10-6 give or take. The first few times he did it boobs we’re exploding by morning but I just waited for him to wake up and fed then, if he only took one side I pumped the other one if I could be bothered to get up then, but he usually took it an hour later (and maybe once or twice I kicked him off one boob mid feed so that he also took the other one). After a couple of nights your boobs adjust and they stop being overfull in the morning. Just went through it again as he had a stint of waking up twice in the night for about 4 days, then slept through again and boobs bursting again in the morning. Take ibuprofen at any hint of mastitis (but for me that is usually caused by wearing something too tight rather than not feeding over night)

We usually get 6+ hours and the first couple of times was a bit leaky but your boobs do quickly adapt.
I went out the other evening and didn’t pump or anything and went 16 hours between feeds, then my boobs felt like rocks!

we are exactly like this!!

and didn’t know it could get worse but it has 👎🫠 hope things have improved for you!!!

still the same here!!! He’s been asleep since 8 as didn’t want to have an afternoon nap… strapping in for being awake at 12 🎉

Yes going through something for sure!!! It will get better 🙏🙏
