I just found this free online streaming video on colostrum expression.
Thought others would like to view it
and have the URL available.

Breastfeeding 1-2-3
Free Video on Hand Expression of Breast Milk
by Angela White, J.D., breastfeeding counselor on November 5th, 2007
Think hand expression is unnecessary or too difficult? Dr. Jane Morton
offers a free video that demonstrates how to teach mothers (or how to learn
for oneself) the technique for hand expression of breast milk. When I
interviewed Dr. Morton last March, she mentioned new research that suggests
that hand expression used in conjunction with pumping in the first three
days is much more effective in promoting subsequent milk production than
pumping alone. She said if women were taught to hand express in the first
three days after giving birth, their milk production could be boosted
significantly and fewer women would experience problems (or unnecessary
worries) over low milk supply. In the video, Dr. Morton explains that
mothers separated from their babies have been shown to produce 80% more milk
by using hand expression more than five times each day in the first three
days in addition to using the electric pump!
Dr. Morton is Director of Breastfeeding Medicine at Lucile Packard
Children's Hospital (LPCH) and a Clinical Professor at Stanford University
School of Medicine. Along with other breastfeeding resources, she offers the
seven-minute 33-second video in free streaming video format at LPCH's
Newborn Nursery site, or copies may be purchased through the email address
mentioned on that page. Note that it takes a fast internet connection and a
little patience to see the entire video. When the video froze occasionally,
I needed to manually advance and rewind through those sections to see the
entire thing. It's worth it though!
