I have a very hungry boy and I just can't meet his demands via expressing anymore.
We've started having one or two formula feeds over the past few days and the difference it has made - to me - is amazing.
Expressing has been hard work, I struggle to get 4fl oz sometimes or else it takes a long time.
I thought I'd feel guilty but I actually feel relieved... bub is still getting 90% breastmilk but I am also now able to get that little bit more rest. It was soul destroying having to set an alarm for half an hour before bub is due up so I can express!
Sadly feeding from the breast didn't work for us, but I am happy with the way things are going.
