I had wondered when to start using the breastpump ("once breastfeeding is well established"). I got my answer without further research, though: this morning. Cale slept soundly last night, from 11 PM until 5:50 AM, when he only nursed for a short time before falling sound asleep again. I had to relieve the pressure somehow because I was in pain! Cale even waited until I had more milk before waking up!
I'm just not used to a child who sleeps well, especially one who is ten days old and just 8.5 pounds. Metabolically, he should be 11 pounds before he's capable of sleeping more than 3 hours without feeding, but I guess his cluster feedings are powerful.
I may have to get up to pump at night while he sleeps! How bizarre!
