What do we do with our hard and engorged boobs when baby decide to not wake up as many times during night anymore? I couldn't wait for this moment but now I'm in pain and want baby to wake up instead. Im using the elvie suction pump to get some milk out but maybe now baby is not getting that milk in the beginning that is for thirst?

If you continue pumping your boobs will keep filling up just as regularly but if you don't pump your brain will signal an will change it's production so more milk but less often based on when and how much baby feeds from you but if you want to keep it how it is you may need to continue pumping in between but smaller amounts instead rather than pumping to empty

About a week ago, my baby went from feeding every two hours to having a 4-5 hour stretch at the beginning of the night. I endured 2 nights of being engorged. I put cabbage in my bra for 20 mins which helped a little as well as holding a cold flannel on my boobs. I’m fine now x

Following cos im now in same situation- couldn't wait for longer stretches, now I'm in boob trouble.
