Hands free pumping and compressions

[noname]

I had a hard time with this at first, but I started just sliding my hand under the bra and compressing different parts of the breast. Kind of hard to explain, but I could see the milk come out more quickly when I pressed on certain parts. Sometimes I would use my other hand on the outside of the bra to help apply counter-pressure. I actually found it easier to do compressions while wearing the bra because I could use both hands.

I do compressions at the end of my pump sessions when flow slows. I've never had an issue doing it over the hands free bra. I will go underneath if I'm trying to get a certain spot/area. I also find lifting one or both arms above my head seems to open things up differently and produce additional flow. I'm sure I look ridiculous while doing this.

I do this too. I also stopped using my hands-free bra and just tucking my flanges into my cami or bra. It took some adjusting the first few times, but now that I have the hang of it, it's nice to have one less item of pumping paraphernalia to worry about cleaning and packing. But yeah, either way I just slide my hands under the bra/cami and do compressions that way.

Thanks for the advice, ladies. I'll try slipping my hand in the bra tomorrow morning.

This sounds so dirty!
