Using Your Hands! Breastmilk Expression, Compression & Massage 101
Don't be afraid of touching your breasts. Your hands are a breastfeeding/pumping mother's friend!
Your OWN hands can help SO much with breastfeeding and pumping! In my 101 about breastmilk manual hand expression, breast compressions and breast massage, you will learn how! Watch as I use my breast model to demonstrate for you, and you can practice on yourself.
Breast compressions are so helpful for increasing alertness in the breastfed baby, improving baby's weight gain, and increasing effective drinking at the breast. Breast compressions especially help with our sleepy babies; premature babies, late pre-term, SGA, IUGR and jaundiced babies.
Manual hand expression is wonderful for helping to healing nipples, enticing baby to latch, and even in place of using your breast pump! Every mom needs to learn to do this! Watch me!
Breast massage, and breast compressions, also called hands on pumping, can help mothers get upwards of 50% MORE milk while pumping! WHOA! You need to DO THIS!
