Trying to remember everything but Indah's singing next to me & I am forgetting!!!
Tracey Question for you: When you expressed while you were at work how did you go with knowing exactly how much milk to leave. Did you always leave more than what indah would drink? I'm planning to have a freezer full so that we have a buffer for the first few weeks, and I won't be too far away from the Child care center if they run out I can go and feed him but I really want to get my head around this, and it's sending me mental not knowing what's going to happen.
I expressed 180-200ml into the breast milk bags & had about 2 litres in the freezer, so day 1 I gave my sister 4 bags of milk (still frozen JIC), so she put 1 bag in her freezer but let the others defrost, I'd feed Indah at 7:30am, my sis arrived around 8am & I headed off to work, Indah then would have a bottle (tipping the defrosted BM into the bottle) at about 11:30 & then not again til about 3pm, then my sis met me at home at 5pm... So we realised it was only 2 bottle she was having during the day, but I gave her 3 bottle's worth of BM every day (JIC) keeping 1 in the freezer!!
So I'd express 3 times a day at work (each time getting about 200ml) & then I'd always walk in the door & offer her breast before going about making dinner etc!!!
I hope that helps!!!
Umm, I cant think whatelse now!!!
Oh when I get the pic's I will share with you!!!!
