My LO is 2 months now and is stretching out her sleep at night (thank the universe). But my lactation consultant says I shouldn't go more then 5 hours without feeding/pumping or I'll drop supply. I can't imagine getting up to pump every night for the next year if my baby is sleeping though her nights. What is everyone else doing?

Edit: Wow thank you guys for all your replies! I can't reply to all of them but I definitely read all of them. It sounds like everyone is different, some of you pump at night, some don't and are fine, and some have stopped and it messed with your supply or you ended up with clogged ducts.

It sounds like I'll need to listen to my body as well as my priorities. I'll definitely wait until 12 weeks for my supply to settle as some of you suggested, but I really like sleep, so I'll try to go without if it doesn't cause to much of an issue for me. Some of you suggested power pumping before bed and/or in the morning, so I'll try that as well.

Thank you for sharing your stories, I'm going to keep them in mind going forward!
