Do you just swap the jars over but use the same lid or have you made another one with tubes and all?

I looked up Mason jars on Ebay but only came up with ones in the US or 'vintage' ones at a ridiculous price! Was hoping just to change lids over once jar was full so it was sealed etc and I could carry on milking.

I paid £5 for mine  :-\

I just swap the lid over and give the motor another blast...

If ever I get to the stage where she is giving me more than about a quarter pint, I'll do the same. The babies can't keep suckling for ever.

Dansha milker arrived.  Day 2 and my girl is so much happier she gave a good 2 pints this morning, with no fuss or stress. This is definitely the way forward for us. Thank you to the pioneer users, your experiences have been so useful.

I've had a problem in that my machine stop sucking although the motor was working. Fortunately Cloud's teats have developed enough for me to be able to hand milk her but my hands don't like doing both of them. I emailed Dansha Farms on Friday evening, had a reply on Saturday morning to say they would replace the motor, another one Saturday to say that they would send the tracking number as soon as they had one. This morning I had an email with the tracking number and notification that it would be sent tomorrow. That's what I call good service.
