I'm a second time mum but new to this successful Bfing thing and loving it!!:D
I have a question though... bub is 12 days, sometime on the future I would like to start expressing and storing some feeds for down the track, I'm just concerned that if I start to do that I might become engorged again? How do you find the balance? she is sleeping and feeding so so wonderfully I'm hesitant to muck anything up....

Thanks ladies :)

Hiya!

Just express a little bit after each feed,..not enough to make you engorged again,... and you will build up a supply. Make sure though that you don;t add the fresh milk to the already cold milk in the fridge,.to combine them, they need to be the same temperature, so chill the fresh batch down before combining.:)
