    i wonder if motillum might be useful for the short term?

    otherwise i did alot of deep breathing and visualising of my DD feeding from me. it helped, but boy it was a hard slog! i reckon 90mils from a single session is pretty awesome BTW.

    Haven't seen you around much Damprye so I hope everything is okay but it doesn't sound like it right now. Expressing can be so hard, good on you for your persistance. Have you seen you baby yet? Did that help?

    I find that switching off helps me, that or looking at videos of him on my phone. Mostly though I believe in doing both sides twice regardless of whether I'm using a manual or electric pump. I also give myself a 5 or 10 minute break halfway through if I'm finding it's a real struggle to make milk.

    Good Luck

    hope you're ok & you get to see your LO today

    many people do swear by photos for when they're expressing but hopefully having the opportunity to see (and feed?) your DS today will help things along as well. are you able to see a LC or ring the ABA from where you are?
