4 month old DD gets very frustrated with the whole thing when she wants a nice feed before going to bed. My milk is free flowing in the mornings, I tend to express just so that I can be comfortable in bed and not soak through the towel onto the bed, but by 8ish at night it takes so long to come through I am sometimes surprised DD has not given up!
I have tried giving her her feed then waiting an hour and trying to express, to convince my boobs that they need to work harder at night, but can get very little out of them, only 2oz or so.
Also tried massaging them before the feed. Well, I tried this one night, I massaged when I was downstairs and was getting drips but by the time I had her upstairs she still had to try for 3-4 mins. Doesn't sound like much, but to my tired and frustrated LO is an age! I did also try it whilst she was screaming at me, lying on the bed waiting, and got drips again, but still she couldn't get it through fast enough. The let down just seems so slow!?
It does seem to slow down as the day goes on??
Is there anything I can be doing?
