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.
