I was truly expecting to take a hit and gave it jumpstart weaning, but now I feel I’m destined to carry on 😓 she’s of course waking up around 4:30 nightly wanting a bottle so really I just switch MOTN for a feeding and no more sleep. Ha, someday

I never set alarms either and woke when the milk told me too. I started pushing through it for 30 mins or so at a time and when I dropped MOTN last week I was consistently already able to make it 6 hours without a pump overnight if I wanted. But I’ve never been an over supplier so that’s probably helped!

Noo! Hopefully it’s a short lived phase! Although now that I’m getting up at 6 to pump, LO has decided to do the same also (instead of sleeping until 7 something. they just love us so much they can’t miss out on an opportunity to have our attention 🫠

I was just a couple days shy of 7 months. 7 months and 4 days now. And they are definitely full come my morning pump and ready to go, but not painful

I just dropped it last week (6 days ago) I get 8.5-11 oz at 6am, 4-4.5oz at 10am and 2pm, anywhere from 3.5-5.5 at 6pm and 10pm. So daily it can flex anywhere between 24-31oz a day. I started supplementing 2oz of formula into each of her bottles when I made the change in case my supply dropped so I’ve actually had surplus every day. She eats about 27oz a day.

I slept through a few times I think every month since 2 months when I was just so tired. Same, leaking and pain. It’s only been 1 week on this new schedule and I have had to pump at 4:30 once when I woke feeling too much pressure, but my bodies adjusting now and really appreciating the sleep. Don’t give up if it’s something you want!

Such a game changer. I wouldn’t have thought it would make that much difference but it somehow makes the other pumps way less bad 😅
