I usually try after taking a hot shower. But I have not stayed consistent with it. I did get a little out but not a whole lot. I have seen others talking about hand expressing and/or pumping and have had success.
My routine every night.. 1) hot shower 2)pjs/bed/relax! 3)apply nipple cream 4)massage massage massage 5)I use a manual hand pump and massage while pumping! 6)3-5 minutes per side I should mention I have almost completely cut out caffeine and I CHUG water all day
@Erika thank you , cutting the caffeine will be hard 😣 but I need to try !! I def notice the hot shower helps ! Today will be day 2
I actually got the let down feeling today randomly so I felt that was a good sign I’m doing something right
Talked to a lactation consultant and she shared this video with me firstdroplets.com on how to do it. I still only get like two or three drops on day two. I pump too which I’m not supposed to but I find it gives me more results
Thank you @Pauline b
I noticed after the shower helps a lot. Massage your breasts for 5-10minutes put your hand into a C go around the areoles push downwards and together with your fingers. Use both hands on each breast to get different angles! At first you may barely see fluid but if you do it every day you will produce more and more! I’m 34 weeks and can get about .1-.2 ml’s each time I express. Drink lots of water and eat a healthy hearty diet! Stress is a factor as well :)
Thank you @Mckenna , I tried again last night and def got more than day 1 - using nipple cream was a huge help as well !!!
