Subject : Boobs refilling

Does anyone know how long it takes for your boobs to refill after a feed? Or expressing?

I'm trying lots of different things with ds and today's theme is letting him set the frequency of feeds and he has decided on 2 hourly.

I want to express some milk as I like to give a bottle at night rather than bf - but am concerned that if I feed from one side and express from the other, they won't have "refilled" in 2 hours.

Does anyone know how long it takes ?

Thanks

K

Your supply adapts to the demand so if there is demand by baby or pump expressing more milk will be made! The magic of the human body!! Happy

Maximum is right and two hrs is plenty of time, the more you take/express the more you make x

My midwife told me there will be milk again in an empty boob within half and hour, and then of course supply to meet your demands of feeding /expressing. x
