Overnight pumping can be a game-changer for boosting milk supply! Prolactin levels—the hormone responsible for milk production—tend to be highest at night per research, making those nighttime sessions extra effective for signaling your body to produce more milk.
What motivates you to keep going with your overnight pumps, even on the toughest nights?
This right here is what motivates me to pump at night! I have struggled with my supply since realizing after quite a few weeks that my baby wasn’t transferring milk effectively. I pump at night because of that boost in prolactin that has been increasing my supply to the point where I’m able to feed him everything he needs each day. Without those night pumps I fear that my supply would drop again!
