With the development of the times, the profession of prolactinist has also become popular. So how can a prolactinist help mothers to breastfeed? The following is my sharing of prolactin methods for everyone, hoping to help everyone.
1, hot compress breast
When you are 8 months pregnant, you can apply hot compress to your breasts. Hot compress can improve the blood circulation of the breast, increase the stimulation to the breast and the patency of the milk duct, increase the intake of nutrients and milk ejection function, and indirectly increase the lactation function.
2. Massage the breasts
Massage can stimulate the breast to secrete milk. After delivery, the mother can dip some warm water in a clean towel and wipe it in a ring from the center of the nipple to the areola. Both sides take turns to apply hot compress, and each side is 15 minutes.
3. Minimize pacifiers or pacifiers.
Some new mothers like to suck out the milk with a breast pump when they are breast-expanding, and then feed the baby with a bottle. This practice is very dangerous. Because sucking the nipple is easier to eat milk than sucking the nipple, so the baby will produce it? Nipple dependence? Then give up trying to suck your mother's nipple, and the same is true for pacifiers. As the baby's sucking stimulation decreases, the milk secreted by the mother will gradually decrease or even stop breastfeeding.
4, postpartum mother drink soup, boiled water.
Soup and water are the source of milk, so drinking more water is beneficial to milk production. Therefore, postpartum mothers need to drink more soup such as crucian carp soup, bone soup, vegetable soup, etc. It is recommended to take 8~ 12 cups of boiled water every day to ensure sufficient water.
5, prolactin lactagogue massage technique
1) to promote mammary duct patency.
Methods: Massage longitudinally back and forth with the ventral surface of thumb, index finger and middle finger along the mammary duct.
2) Soften areola and mammary sinus.
Methods: The thumb, index finger and middle finger were used for 360-degree rotary massage around the areola, and the hand could change direction continuously. Because the mammary sinus in the areola is hard, it takes a long time to massage.
3) Strengthen lactation reflex
Squeeze from areola to nipple with thumb, index finger and middle finger. When squeezing, the parturient can imagine the method of baby sucking milk, and imagine the three fingers of massage as the baby's small mouth sucking milk.
Taboo:
Do not squeeze or pull the nipple. Because squeezing the breast may cause congestion, pulling will cause breast tissue damage; The milking action is repeated several times, but the intensity and speed of taboo are uneven, and sudden stop will cause breast discomfort for pregnant women.
6, let the baby suck more.
The most direct way to promote milk secretion is to let the baby suck more. The baby's sucking stimulation can promote the secretion of lactagogue and oxytocin. The more the baby sucks, the more milk is secreted, and the less it sucks, the less it secretes. This step is the most important. The prolactin said that women will have milk, and those who don't have milk can only show that postpartum mothers are not diligent enough. In addition to sucking more, they still suck more! Other massage and hot compress are only auxiliary means.
