Hi Guys,

I popped this in a thread for Barb to answer, but thought I'd also gather some expert advice from you lovely ladies xx

I am currently BF'ing my 5 month old for all feeds and drinks with exception of 1 solid feed at lunch time.

Milk supply is fine - still on Motilium, I found dropping it affected my supply.

I didn't BF my 2.5 year old because of various reasons and am thinking that since I will be BF'ing until hopefully 2 years for my DD (longer if she wants to) then I might take advantage of the situation and express the 2 bottles of milk my DS takes per day and give him EBM instead....

So, my questions are:

1) Is there any real benefit to giving my 2.5 year old BM that my body is creating for a 5 month old?

2) If so, how would you suggest I express so as not to affect DD's feeds?

Part of me is guilty that I didn't give my DS the same start with BF'ing as I did my DD - but another part of me now knows the medical benefits of BF'ing and wants to at least give him a couple of years of that.......I don't think putting him to the breast is an option, he wouldn't know what to do I wouldn't think and he is so used to bottles....

Any advice would be appreciated xxx
