This is the best link I have explaining how to do it: &amp;nbsp; &lt;a href="http://newborns.stanford.edu/Breastfeeding/HandExpression.html"&gt;Hand Expression&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Don&amp;#39;t be discouraged if you only get drops at first.&amp;nbsp; 1.) That is normal 2.)

Could taking fenugreek right after the c-section or In the days prior help bring my milk in faster? 

Any advice would help! Thanks!</description></item></channel></rss>
