How to Manually Express Breastmilk

expression as I did with the pumping.

So for this I'm going to show you guys how to just hand express into a bowl.

I met with a lactation consultant once who said that that kind of takes the pressure

off of doing it into a flange with the numbered lines so you know how much you're getting.

So doing it in a bowl there's no pressure to get to a certain level.

So first you obviously want to use a clean bowl and then you just start by massaging

your breast.

That's really important.

You always want to massage it just to loosen up whatever milk's in there.

Sometimes I'll even take a warm cloth and just massage that on my breast to loosen up

the milk ducts and if there's any clogged milk ducts that really helps too.

So you can just go around and massage and you might also feel the milk loosen up too

which is really good.

So then when you take your breast out you can continue to massage all around.
