same as you. press breast when pumping. quicker and more. I pump twice at work, no time to massage or use hot towel etc and don't care if it's bad habit la. need to keep the job ar.
also, when I can not pump the milk out or only very less come out but feel still have milk, i will "play" my nipples until some milk come out (take 30sec to 1min), usually will get another 40ml - 60ml.

yes i "squeeze" my breasts when i pump. definitely more and quicker. but i also think it has led to softened muscle tone in my breasts... :( no longer nicely shaped breasts la. maybe i squeezed too hard... and i pump exclusively since day 1... it's been more than 6 months.
I would like to ask if the amount of milk is not much at the beginning of pumping. I just gave birth of my bb for a month. I had tried a lot of ways to feed her as she was always sleepy to suck. like, I pump while I feed her. or pump and use bottle feed her. disappointedly, I can only pump 1 - 2 oz each time. should I changed to whole-pump style? or I have not enough milk to her? what can I do?
