Finally, here's a short clip to show how to hand express without a care provider grabbing the woman's breast or putting band aids on the breast as if that's the only place to put her hand.
I feel strongly that all women should be taught in their childbirth class how to hand express to deal with engorgement or separation.
Would you use this video?

I will use this video, thank you so much for sharing Teri!
ReplyDeleteThank you, what a great resource, and I will be using it and passing it along.
ReplyDeleteI think this is a great demonstration! However I strongly encourage educators to place this into context and reinforce that prior to lact II women should not expect to routinely express this volume of milk quite so easily. It could be very misleading if applied to the immediate postpartum period when expressing droplets or beads of viscous milk (colostrum)is normal and sufficient.
