Poppy - please don't see the amount you're expressing as any reflection on how much milk your baby is actually getting - expressing just isn't as effective as bub feeding - when you're feeding, you have the emotions of bubba being there, so you will let down etc where a lot of people have a minimal let down (if any) on the pump. even now, there are times when i struggle to get more than 20-30ml expressing - can completely drain my breasts according to the pump, but DD will get a full feed straight after...
