My let-down is triggered very easily (maybe I dream about baby?) and I frequently wake up soaked, through nursing pads.

We use it at home on the non-nursing side to collect the let down. My question: for let down, I'm collecting a good 2oz per session, however, does it contain any hindmilk at all?

I donate my excess milk to my SIL for my niece, and this is one really easy way to collect milk for her without having to pump all the time, which for me seems to bring in so much extra milk that I'm uncomfortable. I have a 1-2 oz let down on one side, and I have to use something- either this or a breast pad.

However I could not imagine using it at any other time than when I am nursing because they are HUGE! not discreet at all. It is more for letdown than anything.

Another thanks is owed for reviewing our videos and comments so thoroughly. <br /><br />When we first started Milkies we had a lot to learn (I cringe when I watch our 2007 demo video, yikes!)
