Because of my little boys issues with latching & feeding I do a combination of bfing & expressing for him. Usually for a feed he will do around 15 minutes on the breast & then I express for 10 minutes & give him that. This is working lovely for us at the moment but at night its a real pain having to express & then wash/sterilize the pump. So I have been expressing some extra for him during the day & putting it in the fridge ready for the night times.
However, I'm finding that expressing the extra bottle really effects my ability to feed on the next go ifykwim. As in, I will do 15 minutes on the right boob, then express for 10 min from the right & get around 40ml & give him that fine, ill put him down & then express for 20 minutes from the left boob for the fridge bottle, but then two hours later when it comes to his next feed both my boobs are still pretty empty & he finds it frustrating ifykwim. I also never know which boob to out him on as I try & alternate as much as possible, and technically it should be the opposite to what I bfed last, but that will mean less time for the milk to regenerate as I have only recently expressed from it ifykwim?
Sorry if this isn't making sense lol, its very late!
