Today, my lovely friends, I have expressed a total of seventeen and a half fluid ounces (in two goes).

It is a personal best for me, and one of which I feel a ridiculous bovine pride.

LOL! Thats an immense amount, are you bottling it and selling it?

Hats off, that is truly impressive. Go to the top of the herd

Are you losing weight at a rate of knots?

suzywong · 16/12/2003 16:17

quick question
Is it 'normal' for breasts not to feel full once baby gets beyond about 6 weeks? DS is a whopper so no worries about nutrition but this thread got me thinking that I couldn't squeeze out 17.5 ounces if I was hooked up to a hoover.

Suzywong - After breastfeeding is established you produce milk on demand.

thought so Glad, just had a quick streak of competitive mummy syndrome

Thank you for the congrats. SW, this is while dd2 is at her childminder's and I'm ahem working - no WAY could I get this out and combine with b/feeding!

You are even more of a prize heffer if you did it without looking at your baby, isn't even the sight of them meant to make you come over all milky?
May I call you Daisy?

motherinferior (or should I say superior? or Ermintrude?) I thought I was doing well getting a shade under 6oz out this afternoon, in my boss's office (she's out!). I find I perform best when I look through photos of dd2.aahhhhh

oooh - I'm so jealous - I never managed more that about 10 oz in one go at absolute maximum (first thing in the morning). I expressed full time for my twins and managed about 45 oz in total over about 8 sessions.

Photos never helped me - usually got most when I forgot what I was doing - surfing the net helped !
