I wanna know about hand expressing... like how long does it take and what exactly do u do? I know how to squirt milk out and stuff but I'm sure there's more to it than That... right?

  • My mom said hand expressing worked better for her but for me I can't rlly get much out even though I have an oversupply. I found a manual pump the easiest and most effective. Are trying to express like a bottle full or just to releive engorgement. If just for releif I found its easiest in a hot shower. Not sure if you want a full bottle though. Sorry I couldn't be more help.
  • I was just curious about It. My lil man Its months old and only bf at night...i have the first years mii pump double electric. how long does it take u to get 5 oz?
  • just posted a vid :)
  • I second the hot shower..that's the only way I can get a good amount out.
