I'm trying to express c. 2 bottles for an afternoon in about a month's time where I'll be leaving my now 3 month old with her Dad for a few hours. I've got to do it in advance and freeze the milk as I get such small amounts normally!
I have been expressing in the evening and it takes about 45 mins to get c. 30ml/1oz. Today I tried expressing first thing in the morning before my baby fed (sleeping from 12ish - 8am now) and I got 50ml in 10 minutes! Is it a problem to express before she feeds like this? Will she get enough from me if I've just removed 50ml?
