So for the last 4 nights the baby has done great on the sleeping front
She's slept 6.5 hrs for 3 nights and 8 hrs last night!!!!

I wake up to hard full boobs which she quickly empties (although they are feeling less uncomfy each morning as body must be adjusting)

But now I'm thinking should I be expressing during the night to stop milk supply diminishing? Or is it fine to go 8hrs if baby doesn't want it ??

I'm exclusively bf with 1 expressed bottle a day and can just about get 5oz from the one boob for feed x
 
I wouldn't worry Hun as your body will adjust accordingly, like you say it's already adjusted after a few nights. If lo suddenly starts waking again for feeds it will re-adjust. I wouldn't start messing with your supply by expressing in the night or you body will get confused! I exclusively fed my lg too xx
 
My little one has been going 5-9hrs overnight since she was 6weeks, she's huge and growing well, so I figure my milk supply has sorted itself out fine, though I do still wake up with painfully full boobs on the longer nights. I haven't expressed at all.

Enjoy the sleep!
