BF my 5 week old DD, have had mastitis, open wound which is healing, one flat nipple and now DD & I have thrush :( - which is now being treated.
I am wanting to do some expressing along with my breastfeeding, just so I can build up a stock in my freezer for future use if DD is with someone else at anytime...
I am feeding DD on demand, but she usually goes about 3-4hours in the day and 4-5 at night. (this may change i know.)
So how would i introduce expressing in my daily routine - WITHOUT messing up my supply (making over supply?)
DD had a growth spurt last week so she fed a lot, now i have a lot more milk, and when she feeds they fill up so quickly after this. I tend to alternate boobs too.
any tips please?
Confused new mummy!
