Ok ladies, you have me convinced my milk wont dry up if I have a longer gap.. However if it does, then you'll all have to get pumping and post some EBM of your own (Ok maybe not, just kidding)

This is what I'll do:

1am
7.30am
9.30am
11.30am
1.30pm
4pm
6pm
9pm
12 midnight

That's 9 expressions still in a 24hour period. Oooh I'm so living on the edge having a 6 and a half hour gap!!! Well best go express before sleep time.

Also there is a lactation consultant here, they strongly suggest no more than a 5hr gap at night, which by the time you finish expressing and sterilising you only actually get 4hrs sleep. I haven't asked her if she thinks it would be ok now that he's a bit older. She's on holidays til wed..

ETA: Yay, it's cuddle day tomorrow so That wont be my exact schedule tomorrow but hopefully I can get a night time cuddle, either between 6 and 9pm or 9pm and midnight.. I'm so paranoid about my milk drying up before I have had a chance to breastfeed. I will NOT die not knowing what it feels like to breastfeed.
