Prama, 10 mls is fine honey. Give it another 30 mins and try again, with bub on ur lap snuggling in. And time of day prob doesn't make much of a difference. I'd say bubs takes most of what u make, so 10 mls is fine straight after a feed. Just keep trying. Have a big drink when feeding too, helps replenish supply. The more u express or feed, the more u should make.... goodluck hon. Laptop dying. BBL later today.

On the feeding/nappy changing routines; we normally change Jasper before a feed because if we change him after, he's likely to vomit. I have to say he is a quick feeder; 10-15 minutes on one side only. My letdown is very quick too, he's got trouble keeping up in the beginning. He usually takes himself off ('milk drunk' too!) otherwise I'll take him off if he is just using the boob as a dummy... If I offer him both breasts, he overfills himself and vomits. Last week he put on 300g, so I don't think we need to worry too much about him not getting enough. We have mothers group this wednesday where I can weigh him again, I really need those weighing sessions to put my mind at ease! Always something to worry about, isn't it?
