I'm currently exclusively bf ds (4 weeks on Monday) and happily after the difficulties I had with dd all seems to be going well. I would like ds to have ebm on occasions so that I can leave him with dp or gps.
So far he has taken ebm from a bottle three times without problems so that side of things is good but I'd like some advice on how to maximise the amount expressed. I'm using a Medela swing pump and I've tried to express from the opposite side whilst feeding him as well as just expressing when he asleep and not feeding. The most I can get at a time is 50-60 mls from around 20 minutes of pumping. Any ideas on how I can increase this volume?
I've previously tried a tommee tippee manual pump with no success and I feel quite happy with the Medela Swing (although it didn't come with instructions ) but I wondered if there were any tips that might help?
