Breastfeeding

Squeezing breast dry after pump

Just curious, but do you hand express the residual milk in your breast after each pumping session? Not sure how I developed this habit, but I just do. Not sure if it is common, but if it is, is it necessary? I'm going back to work soon, and I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be able to squeeze my boobs dry back in office 😅#1stimemom #advicepls

Hi Mama! Hand expressing after a pump can release remaining milk but if you can’t do it, it can wait. No worries.

Yes, always do hand express after pumping. You may get an extra oz or 2 by doing that.

same here, my hand express after pumping doesn't get past 10ml. 10ml is already like a bonus if anything hahaha.
