Correct lactation massage techniques

There are many reasons why milk cannot come out smoothly. The main reason is that the milk ducts are blocked, or the baby's sucking cannot induce a good lactation reaction. Therefore, when a new mother has insufficient milk supply, she can consider using the following three massage methods to stimulate milk supply.

1. Massage method to promote unobstructed breast ducts

New mothers should use the abdominal surfaces of their thumb, index finger and middle finger to massage back and forth longitudinally along the course of the breast ducts, which can effectively promote breast ducts. The tube is unobstructed.

2. Massage method to soften the areola and nipples

If a new mom has hard nipples and areolas, she can use her thumb, index finger, and middle finger to massage around the areola. 360-degree rotating massage, hands can constantly change directions. Because the nipples in the areola area are hard, the massage time needs to be longer.

Mothers can imagine the way the baby sucks milk, and imagine the three massage fingers as the baby's small mouth for sucking milk, to increase the body's lactation response.
