•
Having your baby or a photograph
of your baby nearby can help
encourage your milk to flow.
•
Before expressing milk, place a
warm towel onto your breast, and
lightly massage for a few minutes.
This encourages milk flow, and
ease the pain of your breast.
• Warmth and relaxation can
encourage milk flow. Try expressing
after a warm bath or shower.
•
Try expressing from one breast
while your baby is feeding from the
other, or continue expressing just
after a feed.
•
Repositioning the pump on the
breast from time to time can help
stimulate your milk flow.
Tip
•
Practice with your pump to find
the best pumping techniques
for you. If the process becomes
painful, stop and consult your
breast-feeding advisor.
•
We recommand you to use the
breast pad to keep your bra
clean.
7 When to express
milk
If possible, wait until your milk supply
and breast-feeding schedule are well
established, unless told otherwise by
your doctor or breast-feeding advisor.
The exceptions are:
•
If you are expressing milk for your
baby to be given in hospital.
•
If your breasts are engorged (painful
or swollen). You can express a small
amount of milk before or between
English

feeds to ease the pain, and to help
your baby latch on more easily.
•
If you have sore or cracked nipples
and you may wish to express your
milk until they are healed.
•

and wish to continue to breast-
feed when you are reunited. You
should express your milk regularly
to stimulate your milk supply.

Early in the morning when you
breasts are full, just before or after
your baby's first feed.
