Submit your question and we’ll answer it in a future episode!“Honey I hate pumping.  Lately I have tried to pump, but I am just not getting much milk at all.  Sometimes I still feel full.  Someone in my mothers’ group suggested hand expression, but I am not sure about that.”  “Honey, I think you should try hand expressing!  I was listening to Dianne and Abby talk about hand expression on the podcast this week.  It sounds like it may be really helpful for you.”  “Hmm.  I will go listen to the podcast now.  I didn’t realize I had another option besides pumping!”  This week on the Badass Breastfeeding Podcast, Dianne and Abby are talking about hand expression, what it is and how it can be helpful.  Make sure you listen!  You can learn a totally new skill!
