Gotta share this as it's made such a difference to me. Have been expressing one feed a day in the morning from week four in a ploy to give my DS higher grade milk than my 6pm supply is likely to be. This was a tip from she who must not be named in order to settle him in the evening and get him further through the night. Seems to work for us. I have the single Medela swing pump and get on well with that. Anyway, after searching for more interesting nursing tops (try Mamaway), I came across bras for hands-free expressing. However, they're £30-40. They also didn't look as though I'd be able to BF him and express at the same time, which would save a lot of time. Here's how I did it at virtually no cost: take a piece of material at least big enough to cover your breast (I used a curtain sample) and cut a horizontal slit in the middle, just big enough for the narrower part of the pump that screws onto the bottle. Take some tape (mefix is great as it sticks really well and doesn't hurt when you peel it off) and securely fasten to your chest. This is far easier than any of the "homemade" suggestions I found online.Today, I dried my hair and typed this, all while expressing 150ml !!!! Also, if you're gonna express on a regular basis, invest in an electric pump, attach the neck cord and put batteries in it. I spent the first few weeks attached to the plug but now use batteries which last quite well and am suddenly free to walk around. Expressing doesn't have to make you feel trapped!
