Hand method to release breast milk

Hold your hand in a c-shape, with your thumb on top. Press your thumb gently on your breast straight back into the chest. Then, roll your thumb and fingers toward the nipple. Breast milk should come out of the nipple. Keep doing this as you move your hand around the whole breast.
