Wee hours pumping and engorged

Do you guys wake up at wee hours to pump? I find it so tiring.. but i cannot wake my LO to latch haha and if i skip my breast will feel so full and engorged. Haizzz If i have engorgement feel bad to let LO latch coz milk flow damn fast and sometimes she drink till choke. Very dangerous

Yes! Because if you skip/drag pumps, it will affect the supply, signalling your body that you don’t need that milk. And also risking mastitis and clog ducts if you don’t clear. You can try hand expressing into bottle for a few minutes before latching baby. 😊
