Expressing breast milk 2 weeks after delivery

Are you expressing to feed via bottle or are you direct feeding as well as trying to express

Generally it isn’t advised under 6 weeks if bat is direct feeding, unless there is a clinical need as it can lead to an oversupply which can in turn lead to blocked ducts/ mastitis.

I use a Hakka either overnight or on the first morning feed. I get enough for 1 bottle as it's when my boobs are most full. Because it's a Hakka, I just pop it on one side whilst I'm feeding on the other so it's not an extra task. Working well so far, I will start using my electric pump when the cluster feeding has stopped / slowed down

I am 2 weeks in and have started expressing from one side to put in a bottle as I was getting so much pain from one side and baby wouldn’t feed off it. I express 3 times a day (8am, 3pm, 10pm) so they’re spaced out evenly. Then I feed off the other breast in between. It’s working well for us so far!

Currently 5 days pp and struggling with the breastfeeding due to nipple pain my midwife suggested pumping the side my nipple is worse on to bottle feed but also struggling to do this alongside feeding him. Xx

I'm 9 days pp and having to express to top up breastfeeds as LO isn't gaining much weight.

I understand what you mean by overwhelming. The first few days I didn't understand how I was supposed to pump and also have enough time and milk left for baby to feed from boob, but I found pumping as soon as I could after feeding her, then hand expressing to empty my breasts as much as possible has yielded results in 4 days. It gives me max time for boobs to refill and every time they're emptied they trigger body to up production.
