It looks as though Dr Morton's article has been published.  It is in the Journal of Perinatology.  I have been waiting for this to come out as I hope to use it for staff education.  Her video clips that are available on line are excellent.  Thank you to whoever it was here that suggested them.  I have been recommending them to staff and patients to view.  I work in the Antepartum Home Care Program at BC Women's hospital and see women with high risk pregnancies at home.  I really wish I had seen something like this many years ago it really brings home how important hand expression is.  If a woman hand expresses (as well as pumps) for the first 3 days post partum, she will have a higher milk yield later, than a woman who only uses a pump.  The graph that shows milk yeild in her article and video really brings that point home.

The DVD's that Dr Morton has produced are available through www.breastmilksolutions.com  I am planning to order them for work and once I see them, I will let you know what I think.

And yes, I do own a breast pump and it has served me well, but I have also hand expressed and have used compressions to increase what I pumped.  I also love my washing machine.
