What are the key points to pay attention to when massaging and breastfeeding?
It should be noted that massage during lactation will damage the skin, so it is necessary to lubricate the breast.

Lacking breast milk, novice mothers usually feel anxious. Breastfeeding means that when breast milk can't meet the needs of children, professionals will use scientific methods to stimulate the secretion of breast milk. The current feeding methods are all done by massage and feeding soup. If you don't use breast milk regularly, your breasts will be swollen, red, swollen and painful, and your menstruation will be irregular. The principle of massage feeding is to regulate qi and promote blood circulation, relax tendons and activate collaterals. Basic methods such as clicking, pressing, kneading and grasping are basically used, but in practical application, various methods need to cooperate with each other.

Whenever a novice mother breast-feeds, in order to prevent injury during massage, she usually massages her breast with sesame oil to prevent breast damage, and then gently pushes the nipple from around her breast to her palm along the mammary duct to promote blood circulation and dredge the mammary duct. If there is a lump on the breast, push it from a good place to the place with the lump until the whole breast becomes soft. Finally, squeezing around the areola with thumb and forefinger can achieve more effective breastfeeding effect. The best way is to dip a clean towel in warm water and wipe it from the center of the breast to the areola for 15 minutes on each side, and assist in massage.

Women are breastfeeding and their breasts are prone to inflammation. At this time, you must pay attention to massage techniques. If the operation is not correct or the hand is too tight, it may lead to the aggravation of glandular duct obstruction and may lead to serious inflammation. In addition, lactating mothers should also pay attention to breast hygiene, and lactating mothers should not delay normal milking time because of work. Generally speaking, it should be squeezed every two to three hours, otherwise it is easy to produce inflammation. Drinking breast milk soup will make breast milk come down prematurely, but newborn babies will waste it if they don't eat so much. Breastfeeding will lead to too slow and too little breast milk, and mothers will feel nervous because there is no breast milk, and the amount of breast milk will be further reduced, forming a vicious circle. Therefore, it is usually recommended to start drinking breast milk soup for mothers on the third day after delivery.
