I've been waiting for some milk storage bags to arrive and they have just turned up now.
When is the best time to express, I'm guessing to wait until after a feed? my daughter is due a feed soon and then she'll start feeding up about 8pm ready for the night she'll feed on and off between 8pm and 10pm before going to sleep for the night until around 5-7pm when she'll wake for another.
I'm guessing it wouldn't be a good idea to express tonight since she's going to be feeding a lot? Then i could try in the morning after she's full?
Also how long is ok to keep milk in the fridge and freezer for? I'm planning on putting stickers on the bags with dates on so i know how long they have been in there for.
Lastly how much should i be expressing for a feed? My daughter is 2 months old. I know my son was on 8oz bottles when he was 2 months old but that seems a lot of milk to express for one feed lol
