    Thats what we have been doing just letting our little one let us know when she is hungry she usually feeds every 4 hours for about half and hour each side.
    marcellus - i know what you mean about the 6 hour sleep, my husband and I sat watching her sleep the other day thinking should we wake her up or not.
    So what do you so if you breasts get quite full, mine do if she is sleeping a long time but they dont hurt which is good. i was told to express a little but I was also told not to do that in the first couple of weeks arrrgghhh what is a new mum supposed to do.

    Salad hun if you're boobs are really uncomfortable, I would say express a tiny bit so they don't feel like rocks anymore. Try doing it by hand in the shower- takes a bit of practice but much easier than using a pump.

    Just watch not to express too much- the more that comes out, the more you make!
