Expressing

Sorry, this isn’t answering your question but I just wanted to ask how your finding BF and expressing? Hope you don’t mind me asking, I’m due in January and looking to do the same but I feel like I have so may questions😅 when did you first introduce bottle to baby?x

I only tend to keep milk in the fridge for 3 days but I do mix milk over that period for bottles as long as it’s all the same temperature so has all been in the fridge not freshly pumped x

I have had no problem with mixing fresh, refrigerated, and thawed from frozen and feeding to baby!

Typically, I pump when I hand her off to my husband to feed and it’ll be enough for the bottle the following night. I get ready for bed as I pump he will feed her put her down and bring her to me for her next feed. we also keep up to 4 days in the fridge

You can mix milk from different days as long as your baby has had the milk or you’ve frozen it within six days. Try pumping in the morning after baby’s first feed. I always found that I could get most then 😊 how old is your baby? Only asking because if you’re still establishing your supply, its not really recommended that you pump yet, however, if your husband is giving a bottle you would need to pump when your baby has the bottle if that makes sense? Especially with it being a night one as that’s when your prolactin production is highest to build your milk supply x

If you’re EBF then getting between 0.5-2oz per pump is normal :) but the issue with giving husband the bottle to do overnight is you’re missing a feed/pump and your prolactin levels are highest between 1-4am. You can mix milks but BM is only okay in the fridge for 4 days
