Breast Feeding Dilemma

I’m only 6 days postpartum and pumping is really driving me crazy thanks to the sleepless nights Would it be ok to not follow the pumping schedule as I am doing it every 3 hourly and it is so hard to get up at night with the vaginal pain and wearing the traditional binder to sleep.. Open to suggestions to cope with this stress…

Hi mummy i am a sect mummy, i can totally understand you as i was having pain for first 3 weeks and i have to juggle with pumping, somemore in the beginning the supply was so little made me even more frustrated. Then i start to drag my pumping session to 4-5hours. The max i did was 7hours coz i was too tired to wake up but end up with engorgement. U can slowly start drag 4hours first but this means your supply might decrease, i am on mixed fm and bm so im fine if eventually my bm drop in supply as it was really tiring and couldnt care for 👶🏻 properly
