Problems expressing

[Sonilaa]

I want to express, so that I can go to the gym...

From my first DC I still have the avent handpump which worked just fine. But this time round I cant seem to be able to express more than a few drops. I also tried to express by hand but no success either.

This time round my boobs feel much softer. Baby is drinking well and gaining plenty though.

Any suggestions?

Hi...I find it easiest to express first thing in the morning after ds and I always have to do it on one breast while ds is feeding on the other - if I try and express when he's not feeding then I get next to nothing.

Thanks a lot. That helped.
