Expressing for work

[Blueeyes91]

Hey all.

I'm going back to work soon and I'm really worrying about expressing. At the moment I only express once in the morning and I get 5oz and that takes 30 minutes.

When I go back to work I'm worried I won't be able to get 5oz in 30 minutes or less...is it as hard as I think it's going to be? Advice is greatly appreciated.

My LO still has 7 breastfeeds a day at the moment and is 7 months old. She is also on solids 3 times a day. Will the breastfeeds ever calm down?

It really won’t be as hard as you think it’s going to be. For me, the thought of leaving them was far harder than actually doing it.

I’d call one of the Bfing Helplines this morning. They can answer your questions on expressing (I was always hopeless at it) and help you to come up with a return to work plan
