I am starting to become resigned to the fact that part or even full time expressing is apart of mine and dd's future. DD has a poor attachment and disorganised suck and we have done everything to improve it but with every passing week the whole thing is getting worse and harder. After days and days of constant screaming I started introducing a couples of bottles of EBM and its like we have 2 different children. After a feed on the breast dd is unsettled and fussy and impossible to get to sleep. After a bottle of EBM she is calm and peaceful and the happiest kid around. For the last two nights after a bottle of ebm she's slept 7 hours straight We were doing 90min intervals before that and taking up to 2 hours to settle. So I think I need to do what's best for her in the end. Anyway I have some questions.

How do you organise your day? Do you pump before a feed anticipating one or after a feed in preparation for the next?

If you have other children do you have any tips on making the whole process easier. I have 3 under 4.

Do I really need a double pump. I have a single electric one. Right now I can get enough for a whole feed out of one boob but I am guessing that may change as she gets older and requires less milk. I am lucky I have supply like a jersey cow and I find expressing easy ( I can get a feed for her pumped in less than 5 minutes)

When you go out do you just feed them from the boob?? If not how do you take a bottle out. From the fridge in a cold pack??? Is there a better way.

Any other tips or tricks that may help me.
