Breast Gymnastics 

A simple, and effective technique for:

  • helping milk flow

  • easing breast fullness, engorgement, and plugged ducts

Credit for this technique goes to an amazing colleague, Maya Bolman, IBCLC. Please see her website here.

Hand Expression

Hand expression is a tool that can be used throughout your breastfeeding experience:

  • to collect colostrum (hand expression works better than a pump in the first few days)

  • to relieve breast fullness, engorgement, and plugged ducts

  • to boost your milk supply

  • to express milk without a pump (a great backup option!)

Hand expression should never be painful! Treat your breast gently while expressing.
