Another milk supply query!!!

[Belfast girl]

Me again, sorry!

So we are feeding well during the day, we start the day off well, can tell there is a lot of milk coz if she slips off it goes everywhere. Think supply dwindles by the end of the day because some days she just feeds constantly from 2-7 which is fine by me. I give her an expressed milk top up at 7, then express at 9pm ish. I go to bed and OH gives her a dreamfeed - usually formula at 11 then I wake her for a feed at 6.

Now I am not going to wake her earlier in the night for a feed, as think she would wake herself if she was hungry and feeding her at 6 is quite conveniant as gives me time to get DD1 ready when she wakes at 7-730.

Long post but similar query to before, even though I do express to make up the the missed feed, do you think her long sleeping will affect my supply as I am not feeding in the night? Or do you think it will just adapt and cope ok with the daytime feeding. I try and do one feed of the day skin to skin when DD1 is at nursery.

I dot think it'll effect you supply at all hun- out bodies are pretty cool at making what we need.

Her sleeping long won't affect your supply. In truth the formula Might, but plenty of ladies manage to feed like that, and your body simply adapts

I recently read a quote along the lines of trusting your body - it just made a whole person, making milk is easy! X
