12.01.2022 #Repost The Breastfeeding Dietitian HOW TO HAND EXPRESS YOUR BREASTMILK. A handy (heh pun intended!) skill for all breastfeeding mothers. It can boost your conf...idence and comfort with your milk-making abilities and helps to stimulate your supply. . . Have your fingers placed away from your nipple more near where your milk-making sacs are (those grapes - don’t know what I’m talking about? Head a ways back on my for my grapes post). This can be about an inch back from your areola, but depending on the size of your areola it could be different for you! . . Then get expressing! 1Press back INTO breast. 2Then compress. . . You don’t need to rub your fingers along your skin towards your nipple either. This just hurts. The purpose of hand expression is to move the milk out of the sacs and towards the nipple by just compressing the sacs. . . Other tips: Massage your breasts before you start to loosen the milk from the milk-making sacs, so it can more easily be moved out. Start in the C-hold position for ease, but move around to get at different milk making sacs! You may not get milk right away, and may take a few compresses - with each compress the milk moves closer towards the nipple. If you are hand expressing colostrum (when it is very small volumes and thicker and stickier milk), there will sometimes be just drops at a time! That’s normal and okay! If you are hand expressing antenatally (at the end of your pregnancy), you may not be able to express any at first - this has no weight to your milk production! Milk is there and just takes time and practice to hand express some. . . Do you hand express? What was your experience?

10.01.2022 Have you ever wondered what a breastfeed looks like? Our Breastfeeding Peer Supporter Nicky has kindly made this video to help explain what a breastfeed looks l...ike. Lots of mums tell us they worry about breastfeeding because they can’t see what their baby is getting. It is very rare that a mum won’t make enough milk for her baby. So although you can’t see what is going in there are others ways to can tell if your baby is feeding well. Take a look at their nappy!! We have attached a simple check list, but if you have any worries please contact the Health Visitor Service desk on 03003045076 Monday-Friday Peer supporter helpline over the weekend 07920466660 Your body is amazing it has the ability to make milk for your baby that is unique to them. Your breast milk is packed with antibodies that will help your baby fight infection.
