Hi,
I've got the twins settled into feeding on ebm during the day and formula at night. This seems to suit us all for the time being and I'm hoping to continue while we're all happy, hopefully long term.
I was just wanted to know how to continue this, as there isn't a lot of advice about for mums feeding ebm.
I'm wondering how often I need to keep expressing to keep my milk going for them. At the moment I express about every two or three hours, including twice at night. If I leave it longer between expressing I get more out, but will it reduce over time?
I'm actually producing more than I need at the moment, and freezing some for reserves, after a recent bout of mastitis where it really dropped, I'm worried about messing about and it drying up again.
Any experiences/advice would be much appreciated.
