I usually just stand over a sink and kind of push the milk through by manipulating the bbs - does that make sense? You can't just not do anything b/c then I'll be afraid that you'll get engorged and get a clogged duct or worse. I tell you, even though they say it lessens your milk supply, I have been known to use cold cabbage leaves. As long as you don't use it A LOT you should be fine. It does take that sting away. I am so sorry. Cracked nipples really are no fun at all.
