someone on here suggested trying breast shells as i was having trouble expressing...i was amazed to find i could get 1oz, and probably even more if i didn't spill it when taking them off! It only works 1st thing in the morning after dd has had a longer sleep, (and bizarrely only from one boob, but that's yet another worry). I put one on my leaky boob while dd feeds from the other one.
anyway, i notice that the milk is quite thin, and doesn't separate as much as expressed milk in the fridge. given that it's come from full boobs at the start of a feed, i think it is not very fatty? I was wondering whether if i were to collect this and use to give in a bottle it might not be a great feed for dd?

breastshells - do they only collect "foremilk" ?
