My biggest middle of the night pumping tip is to prepare everything before you go to bed. I would keep my pump, clean parts and bottles for milk storage within arm’s reach for easy grabs. It made it where all I had to do was put the pump on and put the pumped milk in the fridge afterwards. Plus, when my alarm went off, I didn’t have to search for anything while half asleep. It made my night pumps feel less overwhelming and helped me stay consistent during the first months postpartum.

It’s so smart to have everything ready ahead of time! It cuts out so much stress of having to get up and grab something you forgot

This!! There has been countless of times I would just go back to sleep because I didn’t feel like going all the way downstairs to put my pumps together then pump 🥲
