My baby is 4.5 weeks old. I have been fully bfeeding her since she was born, which is going well. Today I decided to try expressing some milk to freeze for later. I would like to know how much milk you are supposed to produce. I have just expressed for 20 mins with an electric pump and only produced 35ml/just over 1oz.
It seems a bit woeful. Is it because breasts aren't as full as they would have been first thing in the morning?
Do I need to express for longer than 20 mins?
I remember producing more than this when i was expressing 5-6 times a day for DS when he was in special care.
Any tips?
