    You can whinge for an hour if it'll help :D Big hugs for you! xx

    Sorry, memory like a sieve, have you been expressing/bottle feeding too? Over a week you could possibly pump enough to buy you a whole night (pop it in the freezer every time then defrost it all in one go) so you can have a whole night's sleep or at least two halves say next weekend? :confused: Something to look forward to! ;)

    Thanks everyone :)

    I've been expressing, but she's feeding so often that I'm not getting much out, and twice now I've expressed during her "long" sleeps and she's had some sort of psychic awareness of it and woken up right after I've finished, bagged and dropped the EBM in the freezer, demanding to be fed from my empty boobs so I'm a bit leery of timing.

    I think there's about 120ml in the freezer, is all. Hardly worth the effort or the bag :(

    Edit: to make myself feel better, this is a picture of my daughter when she is being cute and not a monster.

    Ah yeah.. Sorry, I'm doing it all in reverse (used to expressing/bottle feeding and only now doing breastfeeding) so I don't always think of these things.. Have come up against Rhys wanting feeding straight after expressing (I can't time it right either - bloody demand feeding! :rolleyes::p) so I know how frustrating it is (but then I have the back up of the usual EBM in the fridge :o).
