How much did you express this time? :rolleyes:

Thankyou ladies xx

Got 5 1/2 oz from one booby...then 1 oz from the other


I have just decided that when we get back from our hols I am going to stop my nighttime expressing. Benjamin will be 6 months. I will continue to feed him for now but no more freezer full of milk....it is just a massive commitment to keep pumping every night - especially now he is eating all kinds of stuff, it is not like he is just a BF baby any more. Although he still probably feeds as much as he ever did in addition to eating - little chunk!!!


Elle - if there is anything wrong with that boy I will eat my hat!

I will probably regret saying that....but now I have so there

Complete reluctance to sleep doesn't come across very well in photos then? That's all that's wrong with him at the minute.. :rolleyes:

ETA: Have you been expressing in the daytime too, or do you mean you're stopping expressing completely?

My_Fathers_Daughter

I express when I am away from Benjamin (usually) and then at about 10.30pm or so. Since he was 12 weeks he has been sleeping since about 7pm so I have spent 12 weeks building up a store of EBM (we use it but we also use formula when it is convenient).

I just think that at some point I need to be thinking about stopping BF. I don't want that to be timed anywhere near to me going back to work so I may continue to feed morning and evening for a while....but stop all the expressing and let him have formula when I am not there....

I dunno - it is such an internal battle...will mull it over on hols - nothing is changing before then anyway!


Off to bed - night all xxx

Nighty night MFD xxx

MFD - Wow - the most I ever got from both was 5oz!

I'd probably get nowt now - it's been over a year since I tried.

BTW - I've had 3 lonely mornings now! DH at work and DD in her own bed - if it continues after we have been away I can see us getting her room sorted out and moving her in!!!!

MDW

elle_gee

Have you tried DD in her own room before, MDW?

The most I've managed in a long time was the 240ml (8oz-ish) I conjured up from nowhere at 5am yesterday morning.. fluke, I'm sure of it! Tempted to wake up and do it again in the middle of the night but at the rate I'm going, I'll still be awake then anyway! Trying to get back to the every 3hrs routine. Dunno how successful it'll be but we can hope!

I'd best go rescue OH from Rhys.. All I can hear is "Rahh, Rahh, Rahh"..

Hi to anyone still up, I'm home from my friends house a little bit drunk Oh well

((hugs)) toeveryone who needs them
I realised tonight how much I love you all, every time anything was mentioned about kids I was able to say 'a girl I know online does this' or something of that sort and sounded really knowledable !! (for the 1st time ever in my life )
You lot keep me sane and really feel at home on here, and I am drunk enough to tell you all :):)

tia, for your pendant - We may not have it all together, but together we have it all

Have you heard that before or is it a moment of drunken genius?

Love you too MM.. now, off to bed! xx

money_maker_3

MM I love you too I have to say the thought of not having you guys to talk to is scary! I suppose I'll only reach posting less if/when I go back to work (which right now I don't feel like I ever want to do )

elle faboo photos I am so jealous of that bouncer, I think it's gorgeous! And the babe in it isn't too shabby either

edit I love that saying MM I think I might just nick it. Night night xx
