Patient's question:
How do mothers during lactation need breast massage? What is the use of massage during lactation?Doctor's answer:
If it is not advisable to exceed the recommended breastfeeding period, it is best to perform a gentle massage on the breasts. This is usually beneficial for stimulating milk production and maintaining breast ducts clear to facilitate milk flow. Generally, during the breastfeeding period, scientific massage of the breasts helps soften them, enhancing the ease of milk flow, thereby boosting new mothers' confidence in breastfeeding. At the same time, this also helps stimulate the nipples and areolas, making the nipple skin softer, making it easier for the baby to suck.
