Okay, this may sound dumb, but I'm a first time momma so bear with me. My little one is starting to sleep longer though the night (hes 8 weeks), but we are breastfeeding. I've woken up a few times with super engorged boobs and little one is still sleeping. Should I express a little to relieve the pressure and go back to bed or should I get up and pump? I'm scared to pump then baby wake up ( sleeping patterns aren't terribly consistent yet) and I not have enough milk for him. Thoughts? Advice?

You could pump if you want or just express a little. Your breasts won’t empty as baby is the best at that. And you make the most milk at night time.

Are you strictly giving him breast or do you give him the bottle too? I do both with my daughter, I’ll pump when she’s sleeping. But I was also told from my nurse that the baby is able to pull more milk out of you then the pump is so even when you think there’s no more milk from pumping the baby is usually able to get it.

Just breast for now, I've pumped a few times, he sometimes favors one side over the other, but I haven't been giving him bottles.
