Breast feeding

Hand-expressing a bit of milk can soften your breast so that your baby can latch on more easily. Here’s how to do it: Cup your breast with one hand, with your other hand make a “C” shape with your thumb and forefinger near the areola, but not on it. Squeeze gently and release the pressure. Repeat and try to get a rhythm going without sliding your fingers over the skin. Drops of liquid should appear just before your milk begins to flow.
