Are you able to hand express milk?

Question

My son is 10mon. He’s become less interested in nursing so I’ve tried pump ">pumping . I’m only getting a few drops and no real letdown. I can’t even squeeze but a couple of drops of milk out anymore and sometimes I get nothing at all.

Answer

My breasts stop responding to pumping around 10 ish months.

Answer

When I was breastfeeding, I’d actually try to pump while baby nursed. (Or something like that.) try a hot rag and pressing around on your breast while you pump. That can help.
