well its not actually a feed, i got into the habit of expressing on a morning as my boobs were always full, they still are. but i'm wanting to get rid of this expressing as i've not had to use any i've expressed and i already have 50oz frozen in the freezer. It only took just 2.5 weeks to get so i think it'll prob end up being waster more than likely.

How do i go about stopping? I normally get 4-6oz out on a morning.

Just drop the volume amount or the time spent.

Don't know specifics but maybe 2 or 3 steps at 5-7 days each or until you don't feel discomfort at that level (if that makes sense).

Do you plan to return to work?

Yeh i plan to return to work but not until mid July, at this rate i'll have 1000 oz forzen 'just incase' lol.I know i could throw it away but it seems such a waste. I got 6oz out this morning but then stopped as it was still coming out.

I dont know how to go about it as i get different amounts out of each breast deeping if he fed on that side last

As an aside could you maybe donate some of your bm to local hospital?

ds has also started sleeping 6hrs through the night so my breasts are extra full on a morning.
