Help please ...... 120mlexpressed in 1 sterile bottle in fridge ..... Can I separate?

Last night I expressed 120ml into 1 bottle ..... Dd is only 4 days old so we have been told 38 ml every 3 hours, can I split this into newly sterile bottles? And put into fridge rouse today?

Yes that's fine as long as it's kept in fridge and used within 5 days. If not you can pore into freezer bags and freeze for6 months xx

I didn't realise it was a lot until I did some googling!! Boobs are huge!! Not sure whether I should have expressed so much .... And will
Now produce too much (as I'm breast feeding, expressing was for backup to to relieve engorgement) .... But then isn't it a vicious circle the more you remove, the more you produce?

I'm no expert but you may find that is the case! I'm so jealous of you, I can't produce that of both boobs hours after feeding!
However over supply can cause as many probs as undersupply apparently. You might want to get to a group for advice. I've heard block feeding is good when there's an over supply xx

Don't be jealous .... They are literally as big as my head ... Will probably be down to my knees when it's all over, and like to say too much is as bad as too little! Xxx
