A couple of hints. Take a bucket or bowl with warm water and a wash rag. A couple times during milking wash down her udder with the warm rag, massaging as you go. It will stimulate her let down reflex. Don't be gentle about it. Massage firmly. You will get a LOT more milk.

Remember, babies head butt their mama's udder to stimulate the reflex, HARD (watch the Pelican Acres barn cam and you will see what I mean).

The reason for doing this is to help her with udder development, not just so you can get more milk, but more milk doesn't hurt.
