I'm going to a wedding in a couple of weeks with my dd who will then be 9 1/2 wks old. Finding one of my dresses that I can fit into is hard enough without finding one that's also able to let me feed discreetly! I want to be able to bottle feed her (EBM) for the day as I don't want to have to keep rushing out to find somewhere quiet to feed her. We've not got bottle feeding established yet so I'd appreciate some advice.
How much milk do you think I need for a day - say from 2:30 till 11 (if she'll sleep - that's another problem but let's be optimistic!) Usually she feeds around 4, 7 and 10 but often wants to snack inbetween especially if she needs comfort. Also, how long will it take me to build up enough of a supply in the freezer for this? The problem is that she's only accepted the bottle once (this morning) and then only when she'd been on the breast for a bit first, so I want to express milk to use now to get her used to it too. This morning it took me about 15 mins to get 2 oz with a manual pump but I was very 'full'. Should I just give up!
Any advice would be very welcome!
