DS is nearly 11 weeks old, and has been almost exclusively fed EBM from about 6 weeks. I've had no trouble expressing, I usually get 8-10oz in 20 minutes on my Ameda Lactaline pump (some kind of dairy cow emoticon is needed here methinks) and usually have about 5-7oz left over every day that I freeze.
However, my freezer is getting full, and I am sick and tired of expressing at 3am. DS is a gem and barely wakes up to feed, so likewise I barely wake up as well and we both go through the feed half asleep. However, I then have to get up and go downstairs to express which takes about half an hour (including preparing and washing up after). I am very tired (literally!) of this, and would like to stop the mid-night express.
Question is, how do I go about it? My boobs are rock hard and painful if I don't express for 6 hours or so, so I have to express in the night for my comfort rather than to feed my DS.
I don't want to cut down my expressing the rest of the time, I'd just like to do my last express at 11pm and then at say 7am.
How do I go about this? Any suggestions? Sorry for rather convoluted post - lack of sleep causing concentration issues!
