[QUOTE="mrsguiseley, post: 921123, member: 80700"] Just to confirm what everyone else has said really... My baby was born at 34 weeks and we spent 7 weeks in SCBU. I was encouraged to express and given a hospital grade pump to help. Jack was given my milk through a feeding tube and when he was strong enough, kangaroo/skin to skin care was really encouraged to help bond/milk production/regulate Jack's temperature etc. As soon as his sucking reflex was ready I was given lots and lots of support to establish breastfeeding and we continued until weaning. As for expressing now, I was told to do the same but I didn't as I didn't start producing milk until after Jack was born. Your hospital should provide you with sterile syringes/small bottles to collect the amount you're able to express along with freezing and storage guidelines. The NCT website also produces lots of information on how to do this. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
