Expressing/Pumping and Storing Your Breastmilk
You may want to express your breastmilk to:
• Get your baby interested in latching. You can do this by hand-expressing a few drops before breastfeeding to have your baby first smell and taste your milk.
• Collect and store your milk to feed your baby if you need to be separated from them.
• Increase your milk supply.
