Breastfeeding is the first choice of natural food for infants' growth and development, and breast milk is incomparable to any other food for infants. So, is there any way to promote new mothers to milk more? Mother should master the correct breast massage technique after delivery, which is conducive to promoting the secretion of postpartum milk.

Basic technology

Section 1: promoting the patency of mammary duct

1

Methods: Massage the ventral surface of thumb, forefinger and middle finger back and forth along the longitudinal direction of mammary duct (see figure 1).

Section 2: Softening areola and mammary sinus.

2

Methods: Massage with thumb, forefinger and middle finger around areola 360 degrees, and the hand can change direction continuously. Because the mammary sinus in the areola is hard, the massage time is longer (see Figure 2).

Section III: Strengthening lactation reflex.

Methods: Squeeze from areola to nipple with thumb, forefinger and middle finger. When squeezing, the parturient can imagine that the baby is sucking milk, and imagine the three fingers massaged as the baby's small mouth sucking milk (see Figure 3).
