Q. What is the correct method to express breast milk?
A. Note
During pregnancy, expressing milk is not recommended.
After a baby is born, this technique can be used to remove milk from the breast.
- Hold breast by placing your thumb and index finger on the outer edges of the areola – “C” grasp.
- Press fingers inward towards the chest and then squeeze the fingers and the thumb gently together and forwards, without sliding down the areola.
