This page contains many useful tips contributed by members of the Malaysian Nursing Mom and the online Yahoo group support mails. Please note that these tips do work for most mothers but not necessary work for everyone. We hope you will be amused, enlightened, inspired and motivated to get your hands on expressing your breast-milk when the situation warrants it. For e.g. when you are returning to work after your maternity leaves, when you desire to keep some EBM for your baby caregiver to feed when you need to be away, when your baby is not able to nurse due to some unforeseen circumstances. Take note that expressing is not a substitute for direct nursing your baby. It is only a second choice. You are advised to consult your respective lactation consultant, breast-feeding counsellor, mid-wives or nurses to learn the proper technique to get your baby to latch on to your breast properly. Remember that you may find some contradicting information because as I mentioned earlier, one thing may works for a mother but not the other. So, read on with an open mind!
Thank you to all moo-mies for your wonderful tips. (Message from Lilian and Szex2)
