Question
Hello
My 4 month old is starting to sleep through the night.  She is sleeping sometimes 8 plus hours.  Will this start to reduce my milk production?

Answer
only at night. the milk will shift to be more during the day, although you wont feel the difference, the baby will get more each feeding during the day. it will always shift to whatever the babies needs are and you will always have enough as long as you are nursing her :)

hope that helped!
