    Catching milk from the other side

    When I had dd, my dh used to hold a cup to my non feeding boob and catch the drips-lol. I could never do the feed off one side and express at the same time and if I was by myself I'd just hold a towel and waste the milk that dripped. During my pregnancy this time, I found and bought this product-milkies but totally forgot about it until yesterday. It's basically a milk catcher to go on the non feeding/expressing boob and it works. Last night I caught 130mls. For someone who worries about my freezer stash and is currently building a stash at the moment, 130mls is invaluable. So I totally recommend this product and wanted to share.

    Mollie I honestly can't remember! But google it and you should bs able to find an aus supplier. If you are going to express and feed ebm it is totally worth it.

    I'm still so impressed and happy for you I told DH and he was like, '****!' lol! I express about that per side, I'm in the habit of pumping since I EE in the first week of having milk. I don't drip, but I know how huge that must be for you. Awesome stuff.
