Nah they didn't go uneven and I didn't express the other one. It managed to keep up with the one I was feeding from. I'm not sure how that happened but it would be dripping while I was feeding her!
I will say this, not to be a hypercrit, but to help: Please don't do both if you're not prepared to give up breast feeding. Babies prefer bottles because they are easy and they don't have to do any work for it. I'm trying to hard to get Caitlyn back to breast feeding and I'm sure I never will be able to fully. I miss the bond so much and it breaks my heart sometimes. She much prefered the bottle for a long time, although she is slowly starting to convert to prefering my boob as I cut down bottle time.
If you want to breast feed you need to stick at it for the right reasons. It is EXTREMELY hard and you have to be prepared to put up with the constant screaming. I wish someone had told me this: The screaming isn't bad, they are trying to bring more milk in for the next day, to build up more milk for themselves. It's a good thing and you just have to keep at it.
Do what you want, but doing both is difficult.
