Kmn - already have an electric pump so the expressing isn't as time consuming than if I was just using a hand pump. Re putting DD on the boob, will try tomorrow as the treatment for the nipple thrush I got (liquid applied to nipples) actually dried them out and when I tried to express, they all cracked!!! I have no luck. Took it easy with the expressing today to allow time to heal and will jump back in with both feet tomorrow.
