Well done. I got 3.5 ml last night, half pump half hand express. It so important to have some ready just in case 🥰
There was me proud of my 0.5 on my first attempt 🙈
Blimey. I'm still getting 0.4ml on average
You should be proud of any amount ladies! You made that and you expressed it. This was from 10 minutes of using the electric pump. I can’t seem to hand express 😅 I only get the smallest droplets. And I spent all of last week massaging and attempting to hand express. I’m not sure if that has helped at all
Can I ask did you use the pump on let down or express mode? I didn’t use the pump with my first but I am wondering if I will have more luck with it than hand expressing this time
@Sophie I don’t think mine has a letdown mode 😅
@Donna Woods what pump do you have? I haven't bought one yet as I was waiting to see if breastfeeding worked first
@Hannah Momcozy S9. So far so good. It’s very simple to use. I bought it really early on without even thinking about whether I’d be able to breastfeed or not. I just knew I wanted to breastfeed and pump so my partner could also feed baby and take some of the pressure off of me 😅
Wow! I only got 0.4ml!
