breast hurts a lot during the night ?

[Sonja Gürtler]

Hi Anna,
we started with the cure yesterday and it went quite well - much better than I had expected.
Thanks again for answering my question on the guestbook, your answer gave me good confidence to not breastfeed during the whole night !

Still I am wondering how long it will take that my breast will get used to the new 12 hours break ?
This night after 7 hours which was the longest break I ever had while breastfeeding, it really started to hurt and they turned to be hard as concrete until the morning. It really hurt quite a lot and it made it impossible for me to relax in the breaks a little ... instead I was counting hours and minutes that I could finally get rid of the pressure.

Do you have experience (of course you have) how long the breasts usually need to get used to it ?
I hope not too long, otherwise I will be the one having sleepless nights

many thanks for your experience,
kind regards,
Sonja

Hello!

I had the same problem but it actually became a lot better just after night nr 2. You can always release a bit of milk just to ease the pressure when ever you feel that you need too.

Best of luck!

Hi!
thanks for sending your comment.
Did you still had enough milk throughout the day ? Currently I give her only milk no muse in the morning and in the afternoon. For lunch and for dinner she gets muse additionally.
Thanks
Sonja

Yep. Milkproduction immediately started to produce in accordance with new feeding times.
