How to breastfeed yourself

Postpartum milk secretion has become a concern for many pregnant women. Even after trying various methods, it is still difficult to completely secrete milk and they still feel pain in their breasts. At this time, diet therapy is needed. There are many foods that can achieve this goal after eating, especially pig's trotter soup. In addition, you can also improve your condition through massage and unclog the milk ducts.

How to promote lactation in pregnant women after childbirth

Breastfeeding [1] is also known as milk circulation. It is a compulsory course for expectant mothers. (Breastfeeding, the first three days are very important. A good start is half the success.) Some mothers have full breasts, hard lumps, pain, and even pain in the accessory breast glands in the armpits three days after delivery. Most of these phenomena, such as milk stagnation and mastitis, are caused by blocked milk ducts! In the first few days of milk secretion (generally, massage once within 24 hours and three days after delivery is the best effect), we use traditional Chinese medicine massage techniques to open the milk ducts that were originally adhered, closed, and twisted, so as to achieve smooth milk ducts, prevent the occurrence of postpartum breast pain, milk stagnation, breast lumps, mastitis, etc., and ensure smooth breastfeeding in the future.

Lactation therapy refers to a method of achieving adequate breast milk production for pregnant women through external assistance. Milk-unblocking is fundamentally different from traditional methods of kneading with palms and combing with a comb. It can reduce unnecessary pain for the mother and avoid inflammation caused by improper force. It is different from machine massage in that: due to direct contact with the skin, it can accurately find the position of the mammary ducts, feel the degree of obstruction of the mammary ducts, and exert even force with appropriate strength, which can basically solve the problem at one time. In Japan, South Korea and other places, breast massage is a necessary nursing work for every mother within 72 hours after giving birth, because it not only promotes faster lactation, but also effectively dredges the milk ducts and prevents mastitis and other breast diseases through massage techniques.
