planning ahead

[kirstyloo82]

so we have now been exclusively bfing for almost 17 weeks and loving it im due back to work at the end of august i was planning to give babes a feed first thing, leave her with expressed milk for during the day, then feed her myself during evening/night. firstly, is this possible? im assuming so. next question is how should i start expressing? i would like to get a bit of a stash in the freezer for the first week or so. how many times will i need to express when im at work? ill be in from 8am-6pm 4 days per week. anyone been able to do this and give me some advice/tips would be great. tia

Hi hun.

Yes what you want to do it totally possible. I'm going to be BFing morning and night and leaving EBM during the day. I plan to express twice during my day but I think that might not be enough to start with. Sarah88 has been working and BFing so hopefully she'll be along soon with some tips
