Sleeping Through the Night
I'm a very lucky mom in the fact that Lucy has been sleeping through the night (as in 7+ hours straight) since she was 8 weeks old. The last time I got to sleep more than 7 hours straight? Ummmmm 2nd trimester? Let me tell you I'm literally tired of getting up in the middle of the night to pump. Even though I just recently dropped down to 5 pumps per day (with only a loss of maybe an ounce in production) I think I need to drop my MOTN pump. I will probably end up losing a few more ounces in my production but I just can't worry about that anymore. I have no energy to do anything. I barely make it through work every day. At this point, Lucy eats an average of 20 oz a day (plus 2 meals of solids) and I know I can easily make that. And if it gets to the point where I can't, well I have quite a bit of freezer stash to dip into. I'm hoping that maybe dropping the night pump will be freeing enough for me to keep going with EPing. My goal is still a year.....

I say quit it. Especially, if you make enough don't worry about it. Plus, you will probably notice a increase in your morning pump session. And as she grows, she'll be taking in more solids and not drinking as much. So, get some sleep! :)
