Just curious. My dd wakes up about 4 times a night. Usually by the 3rd time, I am too tired to stay up long enough to pump, for fear of falling asleep with it attached...lol. So what do you other exclusive pumpers do?

In the beginning I pumped every 3 or 4 hours at night. I usually did while my girls were waking up to eat, but I was trying to build my supply. If yours is already good, you may not need to pump that often.
I dropped back to pumping once a night after the first two months, then dropped that one around six months when they started sleeping through the night.

I only pumped in the night for the 1st month or 2, maybe 1-2 times per night. Now my supply in up and I do not pump at all at night, even when my lo wakes up. I get 12-15 oz every time I pump (4 times a day: wake, noon, dinner,bedtime)
Am I just a really high producer or do others get this much too. I have gotten as much as 20 oz when I have not pumped all night...

I should pump more at night, but with a high needs baby due to severe reflyx, I am too exhausted. DS gets up on a good night, 5 times-other times it's every hour and he is 6 months old! My supply is super low and I am a low producer, so I really should pump more often at night, but at the same time, I know being over exhausted and stressed can bring your supply down, so I figure either way I go, it can affect my supply:banghead:
