And it doesn’t matter you know, even if you only manage to express a little, you could still add it to the formula you are giving - something is better than nothing right? If you continuing expressing at work it will keep your the milk supply up even if the amount expressed is very little .I know mothers who bf in the morning before they leave for work and when they return home. They do not express but they bf during weekends and also any time they are at home. The milk supply will adjust to a set routine. (Nazreen)

When I take time off from work to pump, I feel tremendously at peace and in tune with myself. May be becoz I hafta concentrate on this act or may be becoz it’s a small break of 20 mins, I often feel relaxed aft coming out of the storeroom with some milk for my baby, whatever the amount is. I have learned to take things slowly through pumping for my baby. (Sze Sze)

A useful tip I got from my friend who used to express milk while at work. Stimulate let down by teasing your nipples with a face towel. That way, you will be able to express comfortably for a shorter time. Another tip is to express while nursing as our body is able to adjust to the demand. Let’s say, you express while you’re nursing at 11.00pm every night, your body will think that is how much your baby needs at night, therefore increases its production of milk to meet the demand (Min)

The method which was shared with me is to form a C with your thumb and forefinger.

Place your hand just above the ariola and gently glide your hand down. Something like the right hand in the middle picture at the bottom (the grey one). Yup, just one hand. It’ll help to stimulate your breast (remember the hanky? :o)) before you start expressing whether with hand or pump. (Min)
