How does a new mother milk correctly?

1. Wash your hands with soap and running water before milking. Sit or stand, feel comfortable. Place the milk container near the breast.

2. Place the thumb and forefinger 2 cm away from the nipple root, with the two fingers facing each other and the other fingers holding the breast.

3. Gently press at two points in the direction of the chest wall, and be sure to press on the breast sinus below the areola. Press the areola in all directions in the same way, so that the milk in each breast sinus is squeezed out. Be careful not to press too deep, otherwise it will cause breast duct blockage.

4. Press and release repeatedly, and the milk will drip out after several times. Squeeze one breast for at least 3 to 5 minutes.

Matters needing attention in manual milking

1, the correct way to stimulate the milk array.

2. Squeeze the areola with your thumb and forefinger, and don't squeeze the breast from the root of the breast, which won't hurt your mind, breast or hand.

3, each milking time is generally 20 ~ 30 minutes, one breast is squeezed for 3~5 minutes, and both breasts are alternately performed.

For example, squeeze one breast for 3-5 minutes first, and then squeeze the other breast alternately, which will squeeze more milk.
