So suddenly my 13 week old LO decided it's time to let mommy sleep, so he now makes stretches of 5 to 7 hours in one go, after which he will drink from only one boob and sleep a few hours more.
That means that the other boob goes without being emptied for almost 10 or 12 hours sometimes. I'm not a doctor, but I'm pretty sure boobs can't actually explode. Can it hurt the milk ducts somehow though, being that engorged for that long? And does this harm my supply?
I'm building a stock so I'm thinking of just pumping at night, although I'm usually tired enough to sleep through the discomfort/pain. If I do so, do I need to freeze it right away or can I wait till the morning? The bedroom is quite cool, although obviously not refrigerator/freezer cool.
