Skipping expressing milk at night can affect your overall milk production. Yes, you heard it right!!
📈At night, moms experience higher levels of prolactin, a hormone that helps in milk production. This nighttime surge in prolactin is often referred to as the 'prolactin reflex. It's crucial for improving and maintaining milk supply, making nighttime expressing or nursing sessions particularly beneficial for stimulating milk production. While some moms may not notice a difference, others might see a big drop in supply. It's hard to predict how it'll affect you because every mom's milk storage capacity is different.
📉When your breasts are full, they signal your body to slow down milk production. But when they're empty, your body knows to keep making more milk. Some moms can go all night without expressing because they have a lot of milk storage or produce extra milk. However, I don't recommend it, especially if your baby is under 6 months old. Here's why: Skipping expressing at night can lead to a drop in supply over time. It's better to pump for a few minutes at night to avoid discomfort and keep your supply steady. If your baby is older than 12 weeks and you want to try skipping a night pump, test it out for a few days to see how your body reacts.
Just remember, what works for one mom might not work for another.

Research shows that massaging your baby's tummy can help with things like gas and constipation, making them feel better.
Here's how to do it:
👉Draw an I shaped stroke with the flat of fingers, on left side of the tummy. Repeat several Times..
👉Place fingers horizontally under the ribcage and stroke across tummy and down, like an upside down L(Love)
👉Draw an upside down U going from baby's right to left, your left to right. (You)
👉You can say "I love you" as you do the massage. You can do it again if you both like it.
☁️Have you tried the I Love U massage before?
