My milk supply for the 5/6pm feed seems quite low (not much if any sensation of let down which I usually get ) which I know is common and to be expected. How can I increase it ? At the moment I am expressing at 8pm ish for get 2oz out to be used as a top up for the next day since I give formula at the 10pm feed. However, I am going away in 3 weeks and I want to be able to not have to express daily but still want to BF at this feed ... Any suggestions ? Or is what I am doing the only way ?
It is funny how the 2.5 hrs after the 6pm feed my breasts feel so much fuller than the 2.5 hrs after the 2.30pm feed.
I read on another thread that Mears suggested pumping in between feeds. Would that mean that I wld have to pump in the am or pm ? I too am worried that there would not be enough for the next feed too .
