Night feeds

Hi mummies! I am trying to feed my baby bm as frequent as I can, however for night feedings, say I need to use the bm in the fridge as I am pumping at a later timing, however it takes time to warm up the bm as well which is impossible for a crying baby to wait, so in the end prepare formula (which is faster). How do u feed your baby bm during the night?

Hallo! For me during the first month i was pumping just enough for baby so instead of putting it in the fridge, i left it sitting in the air con room as i unds that bm can be left in 22-26deg temp for up to 4 hours if untouched. So it wont be fridge-like cold. For eg, if baby is drinking every 3 hours i try to time: Pump at 8pm, baby drinks at 10-11pm; then pump at 11pm, baby drinks ard 2am ~ But that is because I had a nanny to help feed while i pumped. Besides it’s good to pump every 3 hours to keep the supply up so you’ll be awake anyway ... ? But if i cld turn back time, would rather DL! But whats your hubs concern over DL taking too long? Is he waking up to accompany you or..?
