Breastfeeding
A mother may express her milk (remove milk from the breasts) for storage and later use. The mother can express milk by hand or with a breast pump.  A breast pump will help the milk come out of the breast. There are many different pumps available for this. Expressing milk by hand may feel better for some mothers who have pain when using a breast pump.  It can relieve engorgement by taking some milk out of the breasts and help the baby to latch on. Expressing breastmilk encourages milk production early in lactation.
