My DS is taking 350ml per day at the moment. I am expressing 8 times a day and making about 1400ml per day.
I am a bit concerned about the huge discrepancy and how we will adjust once he is home - maybe next week. I am worried about my body reacting to the change and also whether it could affect the quality of milk for DS who is not having to work for all his feeds at the moment as he is tube fed at night and part of the day.
Does anyone have any advice? Would it be safe to pump the same number of times per day (8) but stop when I reached maybe 100ml per expression?
My instincts are telling me to try to get things more equivalent now in preparation for home. But I don't want to mess things up.
I do plan to donate milk also.
