Hand expressing/bowl?

[Teoroy]

Hello,
a siily question really but what is the best bowl to hand express in? Does it need to me with a small neck, a bottle, a bowl? Please give me your ideas. I do not produce much but would like to have some spare to give my dd some Colief.Thanks.

the thing is tha when i express the milk leaks down the areola and drips on my clothes. it is hard to catch it with anything...

Watching with interest as I always find it goes all over my hand and nowhere else

that's my problem too...

sounds silly but have you ever milked a cow/goat by hand? if you get into a rhythm (with your own breasts!) then you should be able to get a good hosing streams that will direct the milk into a recpetacle. i sort of use a downwards rolling thumb over index finger tecnique. the problem is if you get milk coming out of more than say 3 ducts at a time you will often lose a stream

I used to do it straight into a bottle but it is hard to catch it all sometimes I agree. I find it a very messy process. A container with a small neck works better for me as it seems to squirt in all directions!

I always leant well forward, and hand expressed into a wide mouthed bottle. That way, any drips go into the bottle.
