I want to try expressing so I can use BM in baby rice, porridge etc for DS -- don't want to use formula and in any case he is on dairy- and soya-free diet due to eczema. So I have dusted off my breast pump (never used) but need to know when is the best time to express? I have heard after first am feed but then I am dashing round fixing his breakfast so not sure I'd have time then! And his morning nap is the only time I get for bmy own breakfast. If I try later in the day am I likely to have enough milk?
Also he feeds from one boob per feed, so which should I express from... if I feed left, then express right, do I go back to left for next feed and will it have enough milk then? Feeding every 3/4 hrs.
