It is awkward at first but try feeding from only one breast during feeding and then switch to the next breast at the next feeding. You will be a bit lopsided at first but your milk flow adjusts and you will not have clogged ducts as she will empty-so to speak, the breast. I did this finally with my youngest son and never had any problems, also he slept the best of all the kids. My midwife said this is because the for-milk (milk at the end) is the richest. Apparently it keeps them satisfied longer. All I know is it worked for me and nursing was so easy with him I breast fed him until he weaned himself at 16 months. Hope it helps and good luck!

(this was very cost efficient for our family) but when i had too much expressed milk, i would donate it to local hospitals because babies in the neo-natal unit needed it. and hospitals will gladly take breast milk from healthy moms. it was good for me and good for them. i felt like i was doing what i could to help others out in need. (as long as that doesnt gross you out- some other baby getting your milk- i'd say go for it) you can also freeze expressed milk. after i stopped nursing at 9 months, i still had enough frozen milk for the baby until she went on whole milk at 12 months.a. williamsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33710302.post-13393032061525585592009-05-29T02:14:11.000-05:002009-05-29T02:14:11.000-05:00Sweet Josie :Dand you are such a pretty mama! ;)Sweet Josie :D<br>and you are such a pretty mama! ;)Jenhttp://scrapxoxo.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33710302.post-87581344756577821942009-05-27T11:16:44.000-05:002009-05-27T11:16:44.000-05:00Cute new pics!
