Correct method of promoting lactation after childbirth

Women need to feed their babies milk after giving birth, but some women may have no milk for a period of time after giving birth due to their physical constitution or hormone secretion. In this case, they need to start breastfeeding first before the milk will slowly flow out. Correct lactation induction also requires correct techniques, otherwise it may not only fail to achieve the desired effect but may also damage the breasts.
