Phoenix, the best way to wean is slowly, dropping one feed at a time every week or so. It sounds like you are doing this already. When weaning slowly like that, you would not normally need to express. The thing is to be in tune with your bbs - if they are getting hard, sore and lumpy, either give an extra feed (a small one!) or express just enough off to be comfortable. You might also need to slow the weaning down a bit to stop it happening again. But more than likely if you are weaning slowly you will be fine and not need to express. GL.
