Should I squeeze out the milk immediately?

When breastfeeding or sucking the nipple, the breasts suddenly feel a slight swelling and pain, which is a mother's feeling, and then breast milk will drip out. This is the milk letdown. Mothers with sufficient breast milk, after forming a regular milk secretion, will have milk bursts every 2-3 hours even if the baby is not drinking milk sometimes. Should I express the milk immediately?

How to stimulate milk flow with a manual breast pump

Generally, before using a breast pump to express milk, drink a cup of water first, and then when pumping, pump the left side first. After pumping for a dozen times, start to take a deep breath. When exhaling, lift the chest as much as possible, and when exhaling, shrink the chest as much as possible. This is the kind of deep breathing from the lungs. Do it a little slower. Generally, do it no more than 5 times, and the first milk burst will come.

Then just inhale hard. After inhaling the left side, switch to the right side. Generally, after you have inhaled both sides, it will be 130. Then change to the right side, first massage the upper part of the chest with your hands, which is the place that is swollen and painful when the milk is swollen, massage twice, then cover the breast with your hands and pinch it twice, there should be a vibration feeling on the left and right, then massage twice again, pinch twice again, then the second milk wave will come, and the last sucking will also get 50, and the two times together will be 180.

Suggest you to do some pre-stimulation preparation (increase):

1. A bowl, a sanitary mask, and a glass bottle

2. Wash your hands and disinfect them before squeezing, fill a bowl with boiling water and put in a protective mask

3. Adjust your mindset and don't be in a hurry to succeed. Stay in a room alone and apply heat to the RF first. Function: While cleaning, it can also stimulate the capillaries of RF, so that the first milk flow can come out without stimulation. It is also convenient for you to wipe it with a mask when the milk flows into your hands and runs away when expressing breast milk.

RT massage and milking techniques

Mothers often use this technique during the confinement period, and the effect is:

1. Avoid breast engorgement and blockage of the mammary glands;

2. Massage can help to drain out excess milk as much as possible when expressing breast milk, which is conducive to milk secretion;

3. Reasonable stimulation, prevent milk withdrawal, and promote milk metabolism;

Key point: When unblocking milk knots, massage with some amplitude, not just the fur, which will not work. Rub the area yourself more according to the kneading techniques in the video, and then focus on squeezing the areas with milk lumps slowly and a little bit at a time. The lumps need to be softened so they are easier to squeeze out, so mothers should not rush to think about finishing the massage right away, and need to be careful.

Milk stimulation method

1. Techniques you can use when chasing milk;

2. Used to increase milk supply after insufficient milk or weaning;

Note: The most important thing to increase milk production is persistence. Generally, it takes at least 7 days of persistence to see actual results. Everything starts from the simplest to the most complex. For example, at that time, the milk was expressed once every 1:30-2 hours (each time at least 3-7 milk bursts were stimulated), and the milk from each milk burst was squeezed into the bottle. Of course, the later it is, the less stimulating it is, and the less income you get from stimulating it. Parents should not care about the amount they squeeze now, the purpose of squeezing is just to make it more stimulating. When you squeeze 20 now, maybe you can get 25ML - 30ML - 50ML - 100ML tomorrow. Therefore, there is no need to expect this technique to work immediately. Be patient and learn from the basics to the advanced levels.
