Stage 1: Letting your baby suck breast milk is the best way to promote lactation.

Stage 2: If the breasts are still swollen and painful, apply a hot towel first, then use the correct milking technique to express the milk.

Stage 3: If the breasts feel hot and engorged, apply cold compresses first, then use the correct milking technique to express the milk.

●Babies latch correctly, milk comes quickly

1. The baby's mouth is wide open, the lower lip is turned outward, the tongue is spoon-shaped, wrapped around the breast, and the cheeks are bulged into a round shape;

2. When a baby latches on correctly, he or she not only latches on the nipple but also the areola, with more areola above than below. The baby sucks slowly and deeply, sometimes pausing. You should see the baby swallowing and hear the swallowing sound.

●Correct milking technique

1. Place your thumb on the areola, 2 cm away from the base of the nipple;

2. Place the remaining 4 fingers on the opposite side and press against the chest wall;

3. Do not slide your fingers on the skin. Squeeze and relax repeatedly for several minutes, squeezing all the milk sinuses along the nipple in turn.
