Successful Breastmilk Expression
The Whittlestone Expresser is very simple and easy to use, you will soon
get used to expressing your milk. However, you may need to try a few
times before you succeed initially.
1. Try not to express when you are rushed. Choose a time when you can
relax, free of interruptions.
2. “Let-down” can be encouraged by having your baby, or a photo of
your baby, nearby.
3. Warmth and relaxation can encourage milk flow
4. Try expressing after a bath or a shower.
5. Try expressing from one breast while your baby is feeding from the
other, or continue expressing straight after a feed.
If you experience difficulties with breastmilk expression please consult
your breastfeeding advisor.
