I've been exclusively breastfeeding my 6 month old DS2, and have only expressed to try him with a bottle and / or a cup recently. He was a little unsure but took about 1oz from both. I'd like to express every day so that one of his feeds can be a bottle (actually I'll probably try straight to cup). My reasoning is only to get him used to it.
So, my question is when to do it. I've tried in the evening, so 3 hours or so after his bedtime feed and nothing really comes out. If I try in the morning then he seems to not be getting enough at his next feeds. Even if I do try in the morning I only get about 3 oz? Any tips???

Even though I've got 2 DS's, I need to ask a question about expressing.
