Thank you, Linda,
So, if one would like to show mothers what hand expression could (not: 
should!) look like, do you have suggestions as to what material would be 
useful? Do you think the video clip we discussed, would be appropriate or do 
you have better options? I would love to have something available, and 
preferably something that is likely to help mothers being successful.
Rachel, is it a realistic idea, that was brought up here: little film clips 
made in your hospital with women that learned different kinds of effective 
techniques from you and/or your staff?
Does anyone else know of downloadable pieces with moms in real life (not 
animations)? Thanks in advance for all your good ideas.

Kindly,

Marianne Vanderveen, Netherlands

She's ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.  (snip)
If you can get milk from a lactating breast, (snip) you're BY DEFINITION 
successful. Techniques are the MEANS to an end, not ends in themselves. And, 
"the worst enemy of good technique is good luck."  Sometimes the "worst" 
technique yields fabulous results. That's called "success" too.
