If you are needing the encouragement to actually during your middle of the night pump, this is the post!!! Did you know your prolactin is at its peak between 1-5am?! Typically pumping during this time will help I crease your supply!! This milk will usually have melatonin which would be great to offer baby before bed time to establish better sleep cycles

Sometimes I wish I could sleep and pump 
So important I don’t think I would have a supply if I didn’t prioritize this
Yessss this is the kind of post I need at 3am when I’m staring at my pump like “do I REALLY have to do this” 
Those middle of the night pumps are sooo hard when you’re exhausted, but knowing there can be benefits to pumping overnight definitely makes me feel a little better about getting up. And the melatonin part is so interesting too!! I had no idea about that. Anything that might help baby sleep better AND help with supply is worth knowing abouttt
