D pops off at letdown, so I use the Milkie to catch it, then stuff it in the other side to catch what leaks it of there. On a couple occasions, I've gotten close to an ounce! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/catching-letdown-in-bottle#post-558331 Sat, 09 Feb 2013 21:19:26 +0000 birdofafeather 558331@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i have been using a milkie too because i leak all over the place and i figure i can put the milk to better use! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/catching-letdown-in-bottle#post-558129 Sat, 09 Feb 2013 16:19:57 +0000 Andrea 558129@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You can get some milk savers to wear. If you pump, you can mix it in with other milk to hopefully solve the foremilk issue. That is what I do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/catching-letdown-in-bottle#post-558125 Sat, 09 Feb 2013 16:09:57 +0000 Dandelion 558125@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to do that. My ds was ebf, though, and I never actually got to the point where I had to prepare a bottle for him. I did use it, occasionally, to get used to a sippy cup. I also used it to mix with his baby food. I was worried about the hind milk issue, too, which is why I just used it for other things. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/catching-letdown-in-bottle#post-558099 Sat, 09 Feb 2013 15:21:13 +0000 pl0508 558099@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My letdown is really strong so I normally let it go in a burp cloth first because DS won't stay latched when it is spraying so hard. What if I caught it in a bottle ? I feel so wasteful letting it go in a rag. Could I just keep the bottle in the fridge and take it out at each feeding for the day to collect let down ? </p> <p>My biggest concern is that it wouldn't contain any hind milk . Has anyone else done this before or is it more trouble than its worth ? </p>
