Many women have low milk supply, so they want to solve this problem through some methods. Of course, there are many methods and measures to solve this problem. The key is whether you can find the method that suits you best. So what are the methods to stimulate lactation after childbirth? This question is quite professional. There are many issues that we need to pay attention to in the process of learning the techniques. Let us learn about them together.

1. Wooden comb massage technique

① Fumigate the breasts with hot water or onion soup.

② 20 grams of fresh castor leaves, 400 ml of water, decoct 150 ml, soak a cloth with it while it is still hot and apply it to the breast.

③ Heat a wooden comb, place it flat on your breasts, and gently massage them up and down, left and right, repeat several times.

2. Nipple lactation massage

Use one hand to support the breast from underneath. Use the other hand to gently squeeze the areola to make it soft. Use your thumb, index finger and middle finger to pinch the nipple vertically on the chest and gently pull it outwards. Use three fingers to pinch the nipple vertically, press and tighten your fingers as much as possible while changing the position, you can rotate 360°.

3. Massage at the bottom of the breast

When massaging, push your breasts toward the center and try to bring the two nipples closer together. In this way, the base of the breast is moved more than usual. Place your thumbs under your armpits and use the remaining fingers to support your breasts horizontally from under them. Pull your elbows inward to lift your chest. Cover your breasts with both hands, and then knead your breasts in the direction of the fingers of each hand as if you were kneading dough. This massage method helps the baby suck milk more easily. Huihao Pharmacy warmly recommends By-Health's Pueraria lobata extract tablets to prevent postpartum breast irritation.

4. Mouth massage

The less milk you have, the more times you should let your baby suck; since the baby's sucking force is greater, you can use his mouth to massage your areola. It is recommended that new mothers should not stop their children from sucking the nipples just because there is no milk at the beginning. Instead, they should let their children have more contact with the nipples. Gradually, the baby will learn to suck on his own, which will also help stimulate lactation!

3. Adjust your mood

1. Avoid nipple injury

If a new mother's nipples are injured, broken, cracked or bleeding and become inflamed, she should temporarily stop sucking the injured side and let the baby suck the healthy breast first, and then continue feeding after the wound heals. To avoid nipple injuries, mothers are advised to adopt the correct breastfeeding posture and control the sucking time on one side. Otherwise, it is easy to get injured repeatedly, which will affect the mother's confidence in breastfeeding.

2. Get enough rest

Some mothers may suffer from postpartum depression due to the dramatic changes in hormones after childbirth. If this is coupled with the fatigue and stress of breastfeeding, the amount of milk may decrease. Therefore, breastfeeding mothers need to get more rest and keep a happy mood in order to produce more milk.

Although the postpartum lactation technique is somewhat complicated, if you want to learn it, you will have many opportunities to master it by carefully following the steps. Of course, there is more than one way to induce lactation. You can also solve this problem through diet.
