Breast Milk Expression

Most mothers who plan to continue breastfeeding will need to express their breast milk during the work or school day if away from the baby for more than three or four hours. They also may want to obtain milk to store for feedings by the care provider. Continued, routine breast milk expression is important to maintain adequate milk production during the time spent away from your baby.

Listed in the directory below is some information regarding breast milk expression, for which we have provided a brief overview.

If you cannot find the information in which you are interested, please visit the Normal Newborn Online Resources page in this Web site for an Internet/World Wide Web address that may contain additional information on that topic.
