Thought I posted this a minute ago but can't find it now, so apologies if I've duplicated it... or even more likely posted it in the DIY section or something
Anyway I'm going to throw the bloody pump out the window in a minute. 20 mins and about 1/2 an ounce
What really frustrates me is that the milk is there, it just doesn't seem to come out when I express. The first few sucks are fine and then nothing... I've tried both manual and electric pumps, doing it in the morning/afternoon/eve, when I'm feeding/with DS etc etc. Nothing seems to make much difference.
I can actually express more by hand than either the manual or electric pump - but obviously that's not hugely practical for large volumes!
I'm getting so stresses because I've got my sisters hen weekend in 4 weeks so need to stockpile as I will be away 2 nights.
Has anyone else experienced this where the milk was there but just wouldn;t come out. What can I do?
