Expressing schedule
Hey, I’m mainly formula feeding my baby but trying to breast feed once a day and then express twice a day. It’s all a bit up and down, don’t think I’ve got into a good enough routine yet and therefore, not producing hardly anything with my Elvie stride. I have the odd time when I get around 30/40ml max!
I have been trying to express at same time every day but the days just go by and sometimes I’m early / late - which I know is why it’s not working!!
What schedule is working for you? Xx

How many weeks PP are you?
4 weeks. How about 8pm and 2am?
I think you need to increase the amount of times you are pumping, this will signal for your body to produce more milk
Yeah I don’t think twice a day is enough. I wasn’t as regular with my first and didn’t get loads. I try every 3-4 hours now but do a longer stretch at night and get 60-90ml each time xx

I'm just pumping at the moment and have been advised to pump at least once between 2 and 4am as this is when your body releases the hormone prolactin, which makes your milk. So that might help up your supply 😊
