In a message dated 97-11-27 22:00:23 EST, you write:
<< 1. Why are many women (just western women?) hesitant/resistant to
learn/use
 hand expression of milk? (not comfortable touching breast, gadget/technology
 orientation?)

.. deb i believe a LARGE part of the issue ( in america) is american woman's
disconfort with touch.. american's do not touch them selves, each other their
spouses...

 .. there are articles on massage  that discuss this....

 2. What actions can be taken to decrease resistance, and increase the
 practice of hand expression of milk? (show, demonstrate, model HEM?)
  >>
     i think that it will take time, exposure, much modeling,
