Layla

got another question..

Can i put all the milk in the same bottle for storage or do i have to keep doing it separet like im doing now, im running out of bottles lol

So if i express 5oz in the morning and then another 5oz 4 hours later, i can i put that in with the mornings bottle (in the fridge) or do i need to put that in a new bottle untill its used...do you get what i mean?

Thanks

You can add expressed milk to chilled expressed milk over a 24 hour period

I just spoke to my MW, she says the amount im getting is great and has advised me to express twice in the morning to compensate for not feeding over night, so i express at 7 and then again at 9, then every 3 hours from there.

Just had Adam weighed for the first time, He was 8lbs 9 and a half oz when he was born, and now today he is 9lbs 3oz! Im thrilled!!!, means im doing this expressing thing right

So does he have what you express in the day at night? I can't believe you don't need to express at night, my boobs were like footballs if either of them slept for very long. It wasn't as bad with Alex as it was with Ella though, I used to have to sleep on towels when she started sleeping through lol.
