Pumping milk by hand, without a pump?

What's your opinion on it?

I hear you can pump milk 3X faster by hand, and of course it would cut costs.

And as a first time mom if I were to buy a pump I wouldn't have a clue which one to get.

My cousin said she loved her hand pump better!!! So I will get one this time.

They're also WAY cheaper! I responded better to the hand pump

I used just a Medula hand pump and it was way more convenient and much easier!

what works better to get more milk? A hand pump or a electric pump?

llcoolkay It takes a few days after baby is born for your milk to fully come in.

So my breast pump is not emptying me like it should. I can still hand express milk. Any suggestions?

hippiebaby89 @paisleysmama0216, I don't get much out by hand expressing. @jomommaclark I've used the shield, it works but
jomommaclark sounds like your pumping amount is normal. breastfeeding definitely is not easy. maybe sooner other mommas ands
paisleysmama0216 You can definitely build your supply back up you just gotta keep feeding on demand and pumping
