Someone else will bottle-feed one night while I rest; if my breast gets very full, what should I do?

You'll likely feel discomfort when your breast gets full that night. The most practical thing you can do is pump just enough to feel comfortable — not to empty completely — that one night. Pumping too much sends a "keep producing" signal to your body, which means more fullness the next morning. Just enough to relieve the pressure is sufficient. If you don't have a pump, you can hand express gently under warm water in the shower. Cold compresses (wrapped in thin cloth) or a few minutes of cold cabbage leaves inside your bra can reduce the fullness. Once baby returns to normal nursing the next morning, the balance will restore itself naturally. Take care of yourself, this is temporary.
