    Over the first couple of days my DS didn't really have the hang of attaching - we'd syringe feed a few ml at a time on day 1, and more like 10 ml a time on day 2. So I think you're doing well.

    I think I saw you were going to Jessie Mac - it might be worth calling them and asking to speak to Ellyce (who is their main lactation consultant, and a lovely nurse) and getting her advice too.

    Edited to add: freeze in less than a full syringe lots - there's no guarantee that bub will want the full syringe, and you may waste stuff, whereas if it's in 3ml lots then they can always unfrost another syringe
