I would ditch the expressing and just feed bub from the breast (unless you have nipple issues, do you?). ....and remember your boobs are about 2-3 days behind...so it may be uncomfortable for a few days after you stop expressing.
Hi Arcadia, no more nipple issues TG. But you're right, as baby has started a feeding pattern of sorts. I'm nervous about having no BM stocks as early on I had v. painful nipples and I felt helpless without back up BM on hand. I'll take what you've said on board & have a ponder on this one... what you say makes sense. Maybe a short express as I'll have to watch the engorgement. This might balance out the potential foremilk issue too.

Praise be the Booby Booster allelujah I'm definitely getting one.

I had NO IDEA what I was doing and just put a boob in her mouth every time she looked my way
Lol

Thank you !
