Below are some more tips that can help increase lactation:
- More frequent breastfeeding also helps with lactation. Breastfeed every 2 hours during the day and every 3 to 4 hours at night (at least 8 to 16 times in 24 hours). If your baby does not want to breastfeed at this time, use a good quality double electric breast pump to increase milk production. Pumping after breastfeeding signals the body to produce more milk.
- Breastfeed the baby for at least 15 minutes on each breast. Do not limit the time of breastfeeding. If the baby falls asleep after one breast, wake him up and offer him the other breast. It has been proven that repeatedly changing breasts during breastfeeding increases the amount of milk.
- Gently massage the breasts before and during breastfeeding.
- Use relaxation techniques to reduce stress and stimulate breast milk flow.
- Make sure to be physically close to the baby, about 20 minutes after breastfeeding. It has been proven that physical contact with the baby improves milk production in the future.
- Use the breast pump immediately after breastfeeding, throughout the day. Rest at night. Some nursing mothers have found that their lactation improved if they pumped for 5 minutes, rested for 5 minutes, and then pumped again for another 10 minutes.
- Make sure the baby is properly positioned for breastfeeding.
- Avoid bottles and pacifiers during the first weeks. Breastfeed your baby whenever you can.
