Yes. Especially night sessions which you will yield more, if you drop that session, it’s gonna signal your body that you don’t need it that supply. No demand = no supply. If it’s too draining for you, you can do mixed feeding. Don’t have to force yourself to do full bm, because if it stresses you out (due to lack of sleep), your supply will drop too. I personally only transited to full bm at 1.5m. Or try to talk to hub to get him to do night feedings alt days. I used a handsfree pump which I find that it works better for me even thou it pumps shorter (20mins). I am not blessed with a good supply, so I had to try alternatives to push my supply up. I took sunflower lecithin and most importantly, spam more water. Use your phone while pumping if you need to stay awake or distract yourself. Goodluck!

My LO wakes up every hour at night for milk and it’s so hard to keep up to his demand. Could it be too little volume for him? I’m currently feeding 60-65ML consistently for a week old baby.. should I increase the amount? 3/4 BM and 1/4 FM since I can’t catch up with his demand.
