Hand expression

Hi mummies, is hand expression supposed to be painful? I saw a LC today. she told me it’s normal to be painful and to expect bruises.

Mm.. I did some hand expression for my first daughter for the first 2 days.. didn’t get any bruises. Used a bit of hot pack and massage, then gently squeezed and the colostrum came out. After day 3, my supply kicked in, then I stopped hand expression already (used electric pump subsequently for milk storage)
