Being new to breastfeeding, I'm always worried that if I pump (to have some in the freezer just in case!) that I'll be taking away a bit of her next feed, cos I'm always concerned bout my supply.

So I came up with an idea, when feeding from one side, hold a cup under the other side and catch the excess milk that comes out when I get let down on the feeding side. I've been getting 10-20 ml per feed just from holding a cup there

Last night I put away 60ml for that day's efforts in the freezer, put it in a sandwich bag and wrote the date on it so I know how long I can keep it for.

Now I can get my "emergency" stash - without worrying about it taking milk from the baby...

Is this weird of me to do this?
