Hi guys, im currently expressing for DD3 until our thrush is cleared and her tongue tie is snipped next week ( my poor nipples are a mess )
Im expressing about 100mls per session (every 3 hours) how much should she be taking?
sometimes she will take 50mls, other times only about 30mls. is this enough or should i work harder to wake her up to take more? We do the whole feed, change nappy and wwake up a little and feed again routine
Also, can you express for too long? as in, she'll get used to a bottle and not go back on the breast next week? im still offering breast feeds,every 3rd feed atm, its very painful atm and i cant ssee it changing to every second feed in the next few days, but i dont want her to refuse breast feeds when we're ready to go back full time.
TIA
