Hi All
Some background- Introduced my 17 week old to a bottle on Sun. The whole day we gave her bottles and I expressed twice (I'd already stocked up on EBM). Anyway, today I just don't seem to be getting much milk in at all. Usually my boobs can get pretty hard after 4/5 hours but today they aren't really doing anything. I have tried to express a couple of times and only managed to get 4oz each time from both boobs combined. (Usually I could get 7oz). What can I do to get the milk suppy up again? As DD is still pretty new at the bottle I want to still feed her quite a lot in the day on it but I know that the more she feeds on me the more milk I will produce. Does regular expressing have the same effect (ie: if I express after every bottle feed I give her will it be as if I were breast feeding her?)??
Does any of that even make any sense??
Any ideas anyone?
Thanks
