I haven't expressed today or yesterday. My boobs are sore but it's a bit of a relief not to have to express to be honest
I expressed all of DD's feeds (over a litre a day!) until she was 5 months old, then expressed 5 out of her 6 feeds for another month, then dropped to only expressing 2 feeds a month ago (gradually, not all at one time, otherwise my breast would have exploded ). My Christmas present to myself is stopping. I feel bad - I know it's what's best for her. But I hate expressing and always have so it's just time to stop. I have enough frozen that we can continue to give her a bottle a day for the next month by which point she'll be just under 9 months.
So this is a kind of pointless post but I just really wanted to tell someone.
