Hand expressing milk is extremely useful, easy to learn and free! This article has tips and videos that help you get your milk to flow and conditions that are particularly useful.

PREPARE THE BREASTS

Several mothers had already discovered that it could help to “prepare” the breasts (and cause a drop) by one or more of the following ways before releasing the breast milk:

  • Warmth through the breast will allow milk begin to flow before speech
  • Holding your baby skin-to-skin or dressing lightly will help increase the level of oxytocin to induce the let-down
  • Breast massage will help to get your breast primed to release breost milk by hand by rolling and mixing, kneading and pressing with warm hands. Many moms rub the breasts with a soft baby comb.

HAND EXPRESSING BREAST MILK

Successful manual expression means a release of the milk and then the milk tubes behind the nipple are squeezed to release air.

Either mother and check and error is exactly where to put your fingers for the best effect.

WHEN IS HAND EXPRESSING BREAST MILK USEFUL?

Hand gestures are not generally required when breastfeeding goes on, but can be helpful in some cases:
