Expressing

They recommend waiting until 6 weeks but there’s absolutely no need to do it at all unless you have particular reasons to do it. I tried because I felt like I had to have a “freezer stash” but there was never any need for one and it was such a faff I didn’t pursue it

I started at a week and a half pp as I was over producing milk and my boobs were so uncomfortable! The feeding specialist I saw told me to express once in a morning to help. I also wanted to bottle feed my milk for when I am out, or for my husband to help out with the feedings☺️

I gave birth on Sunday and despite baby feeling long and well around the clock my boobs couldn't take it anymore and I expressed yesterday. I feel soooo much better, and baby is still getting everything she needs from me directly from my boobs. I think it's all down to your supply and how you feel - I felt like I had rocks hanging from my chest 😂
