best times for expressing for me are straight after the 7am feed or after the 10amish feed. make sure you're drinking enough water. I tried expressing late afternoon in the weekend and it took me twice as long than it does in the morning. won't be doing that again. i haven't used a manual pump before just electic ones. good luck ]]> Tue, 16 Jul 2013 10:25:07 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=43413&PID=5842500&title=breast-pump-trouble#5842500 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=43413&PID=5842435&title=breast-pump-trouble#5842435 Author: Kirsty122418

I find expressing first thing in the morning gives me the most milk, and I do it straight after a shower when they are still warm, plus holding it with both hands and getting a great suction and long slow pumps gets me the most milk. Good luck]]> Mon, 15 Jul 2013 21:25:16 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=43413&PID=5842435&title=breast-pump-trouble#5842435 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=43413&PID=5840578&title=breast-pump-trouble#5840578 Author: brittany98474

Hi all!

I'm hoping someone can give me some advice. I'm wanting to return to work part tim shortly, and my girl is solely breast fed. I've gotten a hand pump to express for her, and although she's getting plenty of milk from me, I can't seem to be able to pump more than 40mls or so. This is clearly not enough and it takes nearly 90 minutes to get that! I've watched some instructional videos, and I get started really well, and then everything kind of just fizzles out and nothing more will come. Is there a secret I don't know?]]> Sun, 30 Jun 2013 20:02:43 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=43413&PID=5840578&title=breast-pump-trouble#5840578
