Whoever came up with the saying "no use crying over spilt milk" has clearly never expressed a drop in their lives

[Imicola]

Although I suppose the crying doesn't really help matters!

No they probably haven’t. If you’re upset, do you actually need to express.

Do you think that telling us more might help

I hear you. My DH once dropped a syringe of colostrum that it had taken me over an hour to collect while our twins were in NICU.

It was a seriously bleak moment

Oh god I remember knocking over a full session worth's of milk and just bursting into tears. As I did when I realised that all my milk in the freezer had somehow gone off. It is the worst. So much sympathy and I hope you're ok.

Oh god I've done that, heart breaking!

My (not d at that moment)husband once chucked a whole bottle down the sink because it had been 'out of the fridge since you expressed it!' Umm yep that was two hours ago.

Oh, you poor thing. It's so emotional isn't it. I cried when DS1 drank the only bottleful I ever managed to express (usuallt only got small amounts) and almost immediately threw it back up.

DH left my whole fridge stash (4/5 feeds worth) out on the side at the 11pm feed and wasn't discovered until next morning.

Whole lot had to go down the sink.

So many awful stories😢
I am expressing due to being unable to breastfeed, but it is grueling work and seems to take over my life! Feeling like I am getting into a bit of a routine, but there is always something to come along... Spilt milk, milk down the drain, mega vomits, blocked ducts, scabby nipples. And on that note, time to pump again!
