I know this sound obvious to some ladies but i wasn’t too clued up on the facts when i had my daughter 4 years ago, and you can express your breastmilk to give to your baby too.

In fact some ladies exclusively express their breast milk and feed their babies that way. So if the act of physically breastfeeding is an issue or if you would like your partner to more involved in feeds etc then expressing is an option for you. You can mix the 2 methods of expressing and breast feeding, ladies just don;t feel that you have to switch to formula because you no longer or can’t breast feed any more. If i had known more about the hiring of the more sturdy kinds of breast pumps i think i would have continued with feeding my baby my own milk in stead of switching to formula.

Here are some good website thats give you lots of information about expressing: http://video.google.co.uk/videosearch?hl=en&source=hp&q=expressing+breast+milk&um=1&ie=UTF-8&ei=jCngSsG1BsO04Qb0rugJ&sa=X&oi=video_result_group&ct=title&resnum=4&ved=0CCEQqwQwAw#
