Boobs refilling (also in b/f support)
Does anyone know how long it takes for your boobs to refill after a feed? Or expressing?
I'm trying lots of different things with ds and today's theme is letting him set the frequency of feeds and he has decided on 2 hourly.
I want to express some milk as I like to give a bottle at night rather than bf - but am concerned that if I feed from one side and express from the other, they won't have "refilled" in 2 hours.
Does anyone know how long it takes ?
Thanks

If I feed from one side at 3pm and express from the other, would there then be enough milk for baby to feed again at 5pm? And then feed from one side and express from the other again at 7pm ???

Just remember if your lo is having a growth spurt and feeding more you will need to eat more/ drink plenty and rest so as to help your body along.
