I was a cow at work!

I just pumped 140mls at work - I am so proud of myself! :dance:

I have really struggled to express much at all, like only 20mls a session if I am lucky. Today is my first day back at work and DH brought Fred at midday for a feed but she wasn't really ready for it. So he headed off with her and by 1.30 I had the biggest BB ever so I gave expressing a go with my electric pump... and it worked :D

This gives me so much more confidence that I can express at work and continue BFing Fred even though I am working full time.

Yay :leap: I don't have to give up BFing :leap:

Yay! That's fabulous ryatha! Glad your first day is going so well for you x

Congratulations!! What a great effort :clap:

fantastic effort hun! i've just started expressing ready to return to work, and like you, my success has been limited until today - i just managed to express 100mL - yay!

of course, as soon as i'm finished, DD wants a drink so DH is about to give her the bottle of expressed milk - sigh lol

:dance: that's fantastic!

Woohoo well done! :hug: Nice work boobies :)

Awesome! :dance:

:doh: for drinking it straight away but :dance: for getting so much!

Fred saw my expressed milk and got excited but when I put it in the fridge she forgot about it. So it is saved up for Friday when DH isn't able to bring her to work for her lunch feed.

Thanks everyone for the well wishes, I'm just so happy that I was able to express so much :)

Wow hun, that is a fantastic effort! Well done!! There's no stopping you now.

BG, also an amazing result - well done to you too. That will be a relief for you.

a bit of a relief - but i'm being all sooky about it - she drank it all happily for DH, then went off to bed for him, full of smiles and straight to sleep - she could have at least wanted a little cuddle from Mummy before she went to bed - it was like i didn't exist! have been a la la all afternoon about it!!!

Woooooooooo Hoooooooooo!!! That is awesome news!!!! It is jsut the best feeling when you do a huge express and don't realise it :D

Well Done, fantastic work! xx

:hug: BG. It's certainly bittersweet when they become more independent.

Well done, Ryatha!! And GL with your return to work, I hope you enjoy working out of the home again.

Well done! what an achievement :) good luck with it all hope it keeps going well for you xxx

Well done BG too :)

Well done !!
