Like many things in parenthood, hand expression is less about force and more about gentle rhythm.
Here’s a simplified breakdown:
-Warm up with a shower or compress
-Lightly massage the breast in circles
-Make a “C” shape with your hand behind the areola
-Compress–release–rotate
-Collect droplets in a sterile cup or syringe
💡 Bonus: Practicing now makes milk removal easier after birth.
