ok so far all has been going well, ive had days where i leak like a sieve and days where its not so bad! I have also had mornings when my BB's have been rock hard and sore because Miss Em had a good nights sleep! Now lately she has been sleeping through and i haven't been waking up with rock hard fulls breast! Am i starting to loose supply? I also tried to express tonight which i haven't done for a little while and 30mins later i hardly had any milk! Maybe 10mls if that! Whereas i usually get between 60-120mls! Am i loosing my supply??? What can i do to increase it if i am? Feeds are going well apart from this, but its important i express to get my stock up for when Uni starts! Im trying real hard to give this a good go!
Try expressing in the morning. Especially if she has had a long sleep. I can't express at all in the evening. The other changes are perfectly normal and are no indication of your supply.
Thanks Michelle and Kim! i tried again this morning and didn't get much more than i did last night! and Miss Em slept from 2000-0517! and i most certainly did not feel full
The more anxious you are about expressing and volume, the harder it is to get anything unfortunately. Every 10mls counts towards a feed Express each morning and it should start to increase. I can rarely ever get more than 50mls per session.
Wow, you go little chick!
What time to you go to bed hj? Could you fit in an express late at night? Not really useful I guess if you go to bed at 9.30, but I'm a night owl....
I totally agree with Michelle, every 10ml counts. Put together it will make a lot if you're doing it every day.
