Hi all,
Was wondering if you had any advice / tips on establishing expressing as well as BF after birth.
As you know (most of you) I want to BF, but am at college 3 hours a week at the moment, and am looking to get some experience on an oncology ward by volunteering too.
So am thinking from the offset I need to ensure baby is comforatble taking a bottle as well as breast. And establishing expressing as well as BF with DH giving the expressed milk so baby is familiar.
I've been wondering if I'd have to give top up of formula initially till my milk came through enough to pump - to get baby used to bottle also.
Also what the verdict was on the pumping before birth - I tried googling it, but couldn't find any info.
Thanks girls
