Hand expression
There are many benefits to knowing how to hand express. Colostrum can be harvested during pregnancy for use in the immediate days after birth if supplementing is needed for things like jaundice, low blood sugar, infant weight loss, or difficulties latching. Hand express after delivery is also an easy way to move milk during engorgement or when away from baby. This is an essential skill that is critical in the lactation journey.
