I do too, I never really thought about it ahead of time, it just came
natural to show moms using my own breast. I'm usually looking at the moms
when talking so not sure what the Dad's think. It may just help them get
used to breasts as food and comfort.

It has been previously mentioned on LactNet that most of us “older” LCs
can still express milk. My baby was weaned 20 yrs ago and I am sure that I
could express enough to impress someone (but whom??). My right makes more
than my left, it is the one I fondle the most when speaking of hand
expression, breast compressions, massage…etc…

I liked this ''by-the-way'' statement of yours. I never use any kind of
breastmodel (be it cloth, balloon or whatever, for teaching handexpression,
deep compression and anything that is teachable on brests. I always use my
own. Sometimes people do look a bit strange and even horrified when they see
me doing that. Are Ellen and me the only ones doing so, or are more of you
using their own body for teaching purposes?
