it doesnt seem as though malk will be a cost savings over milk - bob
"A small amount of milk was then expressed from an upper thoracic nipple, by gently squeezing the nipple between the thumb and forefinger (See Fig. 2). The silicone suction cup was placed over the nipple and the nipple 'milked' by very gentle thumb and forefinger pressure applied on and off the suction cup ... When conducted correctly it was possible to obtain approximately 0.5 ml of milk from one nipple." - ⓞnor
