Question

Why would I want to express milk?

Answer

There are several reasons why you may want to express your milk. These include:

  • To ease the discomfort of full breasts
  • To help your baby latch on, which can be difficult if your breasts are too full
  • To maintain your milk supply and give your baby the benefit of breast milk if they are in special care
  • To allow someone else to feed your baby if you are going out, back to work, or need a break
