I aim to have two feeds of 120 mls for him for the hours I'm at work

Ah crap...I was only planning on leaving him 100mls total for the day (with me feeding him before I drop him off and when I pick him up)...he is feeding either on waking or after breakfast, one at lunch time, one late afternoon then one before bed...I was seriously hoping he'd cope with 100mls for that lunch time feed and be OK skipping the arvo one on those days. I'm just going to see how he goes, he sort of looks like dropping that afternoon one soon anyway - he didn't have it today for example. If it's not enough, then I'll leave more, but that's going to mean more expressing - I can only get 60-100mls when expressing once a day.
Michelle - I understand how you feel because it's the same here. DH does as much as he can in the hours he's here, but that's just it - he's not here 24/7 like I am. This is one reason that I've come around to being content with the beautiful babies I've got and not pushing for a 3rd. I look forward to enjoying them as they get older and not being so heavily relied upon all the time. I look forward to getting 'me' back a bit. Starting to come around to the idea that you don't have to have a brood of kids to be a good mum or have a happy family
