Longer night stretch / engorgement

If you express, you're just telling your body to keep making more. At most, a tiny amount for comfort. But they should settle down in time to accommodate baby's schedule.

As above, expressing will mean this continues, it takes a little while for your supply to adjust which is painful and annoying when you’re leaking, at this stage I slept in a comfy bra and had a muslin shoved down it and slept on top of a towel as well as having one under the sheet to protect the mattress further You can hand express to relieve pain or if you want to be getting up in the night pumping to create a freezer stash that’s an option too I found pumping at 9/10pm helps prevent leaking as even now I still do some nights but I am working and need a stash anyway so it works well for me and my little ones schedule

This is really helpful thank you ladies 💕xx

Also avoid almond and oats as it makes you make more milk

@Jill there's no scientific evidence to support this
