I am sure this has probably been covered before, but i can't manage to find where. I am pretty new to mumsnet so please bear with me.
I would like advice about expressing milk. My DD is 9 months and happily being breast fed four times a day, the rest is solids which she is really enjoying. However I really want to express milk for her. I want to introduce a dream feed (there's a thread on this in sleep if you want to know why) and for her it needs to be from a bottle or i wake her (again more on the sleep thread).
However I am worried - I have never managed to express very much in one go and the idea i need to produce a feed a day is daunting, especially as DD is now eating solids so I am BF less often. I really don't want to move her to formula (this is a personal preference not a criticism of those who do). I have an ameda lactaline pump and can only ever express from one breast if my DD is on the other. So please please any tips to help this happen?
