The Whittlestone Expresser is very simple and easy to use, you will soon  
get used to expressing your milk. However, you may need to try a few  
times before you succeed initially.  
1. Try not to express when you are rushed. Choose a time when you can  
relax, free of interruptions.  
2. Let-downcan be encouraged by having your baby, or a photo of  
your baby, nearby.  
3. Warmth and relaxation can encourage milk flow  
4. Try expressing after a bath or a shower.  
5. Try expressing from one breast while your baby is feeding from the  
other, or continue expressing straight after a feed.  
If you experience difficulties with breastmilk expression please consult  
your breastfeeding advisor.
