My best tip for overnight feeds or even pumping is to get out of bed!
Believe me it is very exhausting but if you are trying to stay awake through that 3am feed please get out of bed. I always went to the couch and turned on tv or doomed scrolled on my phone. If I stayed in bed I always ended up dozing off. Or if you have a rocking chair go there. For that 15-30 min of pumping or feeding getting out of bed really helped me stay awake to feed baby safely and properly! i screenshotted the pic below so it can show the time. That 2-3am feeds were so hard in the beginning

I couldn’t agree more! I have fallen asleep while pumping and woke up to not only my neck and back hurting but also spoiled milk since I fell asleep with it
