    Early days of exclusive expressing

    I agree with what the others said.

    Just to add if you are comfortable and still have milk after 10-15 mins pumping by all means keep going until your breasts feel empty. When DS3 was born at 33 weeks I would pump for as long as I had milk and it was comfortable.
    I did end up getting 200ml per breast at one stage, so I would also suggest that if you start getting heaps of milk stop around 100ml.

    Wishing you the best!

    I agree with Chrispe. I was told 10mins a side and at one stage was pumping between 400-500ml every 3 hours. Dolly Parton had nothin on me!!

    The LC in the NICU helped me reduce that down a bit.

    Good luck and I hope your angel gets to come home soon.
