Expressing going well
by nickyjones Tue Mar 02, 2010 9:27 pm
I don't know if any of you are in the same boat?
I started back on Monday. So far it is going really well, same as last time I get far more off in the first pumping session at 10am than the second at 1pm. Today I got 16oz in total, 10oz at 10am and 6oz at 1pm.
I am going to try and have a bowl of porridge at lunchtime tomorrow to see if that increases what I get at lunchtime, however that is enough for her 2 bottles, I just have to equalise the amounts.
Anybody else back at work and expressing?

I managed 7.5oz in each session today. I probably could have got more off in the first session but I Was running late for a meeting and so rushing.
The second session, it was hard work getting that much off, but it was more than yesterday. Maybe the porridge for lunch helped?

Yep today I got off 10oz in the first session but only managed 5oz in the second session, and I didn't have any porridge for lunch. I did have a drink of Fennel tea before the second but that didn't seem to help at all.

I think with most herbal supplements they can take awhile to work, so keep at it.
Well done though!
