Hi I'm sure this will have been asked a hundred times before but I'm a little confused. I want to bf my baby for the first couple of days in hospital (which is a trial in itself for me but I feel very strongly that i want to give baby the colostrum). Then when I get home, I want to express and only actually bf once a day (morning).
I'm at a loss as to how this works. When do I express? How often? How much? Will I be able to establish my milk flow by expressing? I'd been naive enough to think i could express it all in a short space of time, say twice a day, but obviously it's occured to me that that's not the case... so could someone please explain every last bit of the expressing process to me in total layman's terms?
Thank you
