Sleeping with LO

Question

Hi all! I’m a FTM here and I’m planning to sleep with my LO once my confinement nanny leaves. However I’m afraid that when I pump at night my baby will “smell” my milk and wake up. Does this happens? Because I once tried to pump next to her in the afternoon while she was asleep and she woke up screaming for milk. #advicepls #1stimemom #pleasehelp #firstbaby #breastfeed #pumping  TIA! appreciate it mommies

Newborns have a strong sense of smell and know the unique scent of your breastmilk. That is why your baby will turn his or her head to you when he or she is hungry. Incredible facts.
