8 week old baby is breast fed. From time to time I would need DH or a relative to give a bottle of EBM if I have to be out (appointments, DC1 swimming lesson etc). I have pumped milk occasionally and have frozen this but will soon have exhausted this supply. I usually breastfeed baby before I head out so the bottle is in case baby wants milk while I'm out (2 hours max); she does feed frequently, so is likely to need the milk while I'm out.
Is it possible to have sufficient stash of EBM if i pump occasionally? It can take me a few days to get 2oz. The odd time I've been able to pump 80ml but this is rare. Over the last two days I've only expressed 10ml only! I don't love expressing and it's hard when I am feeding all the time! I have 2 manual pumps already so don't particularly feel I want to get an electric one for only occasional use- a medela one and a Philips avent one.
Is it achievable to pump for occasional use?
