I always expressed first thing in the morning (on the few occasions I did) and it really is an art form (you full time expressers have my admiration!)

I too struggled to find a good time, so I was slack and only really made an effort when I was engorged.

Apart from the rice cereal idea, is there any other reason you want a stash? TBH I never found a reason to use the EMB and I just chucked out a whole lot because it had gone off (it was in the freezer for almost a year and we moved house).

I always took DD with me wherever I went, and her feeds eventually spread out. I know its hard to imagine now, but when she starts solids, you can leave her for longer and eventually she'll by feeding 3-4 hourly!

As for solids, check out the Baby Led Solids threads. I tried some rice cereal on DD, but she didn't like it. In fact she hates all that mushy stuff and has always preferred to feed herself. Which suits me because spoon feeding looses the novelty pretty quickly!

Is your little girl really 4 months old?!? Whoa, time passes quickly!

Sorry for the essay...DH is away and I haven't spoken to anyone all day (apart from DD of course lol)
