How to hand express - Position your thumb & first two fingers about 2.5–4 cm behind the nipple. Place your thumb pad above the nipple & the finger pads below the nipple forming the letter ‘C’ with the hand. Push straight into the chest wall. Roll thumb & fingers forward as if making thumb & fingerprints at the same time. Repeat rhythmically to drain the breast. Position, push, roll, position, push, roll. Rotate your thumb & finger position to milk the other ducts. Hand expressing shouldn't hurt.

Colostrum, which is the breast milk produced during the last part of pregnancy and the first few days after the birth of the baby, differs from mature milk in appearance, nutritional content, and volume. Although a typical feeding of colostrum is only a teaspoon (5ml) or less, it contains a large amount of protective immunoglobins that give the baby his/her first protection against infection. It is much more yellow in appearance than mature milk & has a thick, sticky consistency.

Once milk comes in & the volume increases significantly (usually around the third post-partum day), the milk changes in appearance from the yellow, sticky colostrum to the more creamy, liquid mature milk. The exact appearance, though, changes even within a feeding. The milk expressed at the beginning of the feed will have a lower fat content (& appears thinner) than the milk expressed as the breast is progressively emptied. The later hindmilk has a high fat content & looks thicker & creamier.
