How early in pregnancy can i exspress milk? i want to breat feed once baby is born but how early can i express milk?

Not recommended: You do not need to start trying to express milk during the actual pregnancy. The breasts are naturally stimulated to produce milk by the suckling action of the newborn. Also, late in pregnancy, breast stimulation can cause unwanted contractions.
