Many mothers do not have sufficient milk secretion after giving birth, which may prevent their babies from receiving sufficient milk and have adverse effects on their growth and development. Many mothers hope to promote lactation and milk secretion through massage. So, how can massage promote milk secretion?
1. Circular massage for breast stimulation
When massaging the breasts in a circular motion, it is necessary to first clean the breasts thoroughly. Then, place one hand under the breast and the other on top of the breast, and use a circular massage. After massaging one breast, switch to the other breast for massage. This massage method can promote lactation.
2. Spiral massage for breast stimulation
Firstly, clean the breasts thoroughly and dry off any excess moisture. Then, use your left hand to support the breasts and use your right index and middle fingers to perform a spiral massage on the nipple area from the base of the breast. Finally, switch to the other breast for a spiral massage.
3. Finger pressure massage to promote lactation
Clean the breasts and hands thoroughly, wipe off any moisture, then spread the five fingers of your left hand to cover the left breast, and spread your right hand to cover the right breast. Then massage from the base of the breast towards the nipple.
4. Nipple massage to stimulate lactation
Lift one breast with your hand and massage the areola with your other hand until it becomes soft. Then use three fingers to grip the nipple and pull it outwards forcefully. Next, use three fingers to grip the nipple and rotate for massage.
