Any tips for staying awake at night to pump? I’m very new to this. First time mom. Any tips will be…

I never pumped but even for bottle feeding I still find it hard to stay awake. Try sitting up. Or actually getting out of bed.

I never did honestly I invested in a pumping bra. Turning on and alarm for 30 minutes and fell asleep while pumping and just woke back up when the alarm went off

I pumped every 2 hours for the first month and it literally sucked the life out of me, at night I would hook everything up and wear a pumping bra and clean to stay awake lol

@lovelucy, they are having me pump every 3 hours. Having one less hour...I can’t imagine

@iswimraider, yeah well I had to pump every two because my baby was eating so freaking much I was always trying to catch up and supplementing with formula to the point where I just couldn't do it anymore and I weaned her completely on formula now. I give props to you! Good luck hun!

@lovelucy, thanks.

Earbuds with loud music in one ear and a lil glass of cold water should help

Or pump as much as u can and refrigerate the milk in bottles for those middle of the night feeds cuz it lasts 3 days in the fridge and 3 months in the freezer
