Exclusive pumping mum

I have been EP for a month now, every 3 hourly. But the midnight pumps are really killing me. Im extremely tired as I take care of baby on my own + pumping and cleaning of her stuff. Would my milk supply drop if I stretch or cut down on 1 night pump? Or if I were to stretch my pumps to every 4hourly, will my milk be lesser? Im only a just enough mum pumping arnd 120ml each session.

Hi, I am exclusively pumping to feed my 7 weeks old twins. I too am worried my supply might drop if I stop pumping at night. Currently I am pumping 3 times through the night at 12mm, 3am and 6am. May i know how old is your LO and how much is the milk intake? One of my twins is drinking 90-100ml per feed and the other 60-70ml per feed. My worry is are they drinking too little? I always have to spend at least 30-40mins per pumping session for at least 170ml. Is this normal?
