To express milk manually, gently massage to
start the milk moving down the ducts. Work evenly around the breast, stroking
repeatedly downward toward the areola. |
Starting about halfway up the
breast, run your thumb firmly down. As it reaches the edge of the areola, press in
and up and the milk will squirt from the nipple. Repeat all the way around the
breast. |
Do not squeeze the nipple as this
will close the ducts, nor continue expressing until you think the breast is empty.
Stop when the milk starts coming in drips rather than jets. |
