Expectant Family
What is prenatal hand expression? The following video can help families get comfortable with the skills needed to get colostrum from their breasts, in the comfort of their home, before labour. The act of hand expressing also recruits milk making cells to the breasts so families have more milk sooner after birth. Prenatal Hand Expression is an option for most low risk pregnancies, from 36 weeks on. Please discuss with your doctor/midwife prior to starting.
