DD is 3 months old now and I am supposed to be going out on Friday with the girls, it's the first proper night out since before DD was born. DH is off work this week so I thought I'd take advantage of that.
I have been expressing since Monday approx 3-4 times a day and I only have 6 and a bit ounces to show for it.
I don't know what is wrong. I have always been able to get a really good yield. I used to be able to get between 3-8 ounces in one sitting, usually more in the morning and getting less throughout the day. (I have been lazy and not freezing the milk but letting DH feed DD while I get on with stuff) Now I am lucky if I can get 1 ounce in one sitting.
I am doing nothing different than I have been. DD is fed on demand, lately she has had approx 2-3 bottles a day from DH but I am expressing 2-3 times a day and feeding her myself also.
I am using a Medela Swing but get barley nothing, I get more with my manual Avent pump.
I'm really looking forward to going out on Friday, but it looks like it's not gonna happen now........
