Leaning forward a bit helps. I've tried using the flange sometimes, but I've ended up spilling or dripping on myself, so the bottle just seems easier. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-collect-hand-expressed-milk#post-730120 Fri, 19 Apr 2013 16:53:30 +0000 LaineysMom 730120@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just use a bottle. I put my nipple in it so t doesn't spray everywhere. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-collect-hand-expressed-milk#post-729699 Fri, 19 Apr 2013 13:40:43 +0000 katsupgirl 729699@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just hold the bottle in front. I learned from my LO the best way to "milk" myself. She holds on a certain way that gets more milk out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-collect-hand-expressed-milk#post-729483 Fri, 19 Apr 2013 12:25:35 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 729483@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use the flange and pump parts. It still drips a bit, but works well enough. It takes practice to hand express! I can do it pretty well on one side and almost not at all in the other. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-collect-hand-expressed-milk#post-729480 Fri, 19 Apr 2013 12:23:15 +0000 sunny 729480@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How do you collect hand expressed milk? Do you stick a bottle in front of the stream? I only get little dribbles so that doesn't really work for me. </p>
