Many moms experience problems in the early days of the baby’s birth. This can result in the child not getting enough milk at the beginning of the birth. To overcome this problem, Momsui can do lactation massage. 

Breast massage can also trigger the body to release the hormone oxytocin, which stimulates the release of breast milk. This can make Mom more comfortable when breastfeeding the Little One.

Here are the various benefits of massaging the breasts after giving birth:

1. Releases blocked milk ducts.
2. Reduces pain when breastfeeding.
3. Improves breast milk quality.
4. Increases milk production.

Another benefit of breast massage is that it can prevent and treat breastfeeding problems, such as breast swelling or mastitis (infection of the breast tissue).

Breast massage after delivery can be done by Mom herself. However, it is recommended that Mom consult a doctor first before doing breast massage, especially if Mom has certain health conditions, such as lumps or changes in the breast.

A breast nipple that sinks or does not come out is called an “inverted nipple.” Basically, the shape and size of breast nipples in women vary. 

The shape of the inverted nipple is divided into 3 levels, namely:

Level 1:

Immersed nipples, which are easy to pull out and can last a long time.

Level 2:

The nipple is immersed and can be pulled out, but it does not last long.

Level 3:

The nipple is immersed and difficult to pull out.

Generally, a woman’s nipples will protrude and become erect when stimulated by touch or sensation. However, this is not experienced by all women, because there are some women who have nipple problems, such as flat or immersed nipples. This form of nipple often makes it difficult for Mom to breastfeed the child.

Immersed nipples can affect the child’s exclusive breastfeeding. However, Mom does not need to worry, here are ways to overcome immersed nipples, including :

1. Mom should perform breastfeeding shortly after the baby is born so that the nipple is not immersed.
2. Performing routine breast care.
3. Using a bra for breastfeeding.
4. Gently massage the breast around the nipple.
5. Pump breast milk.

Many factors affect breast milk production, so sometimes the milk does not come out or the amount is insufficient. This can be due to several triggers, including stress, drug effects, hormones, etc.

However, Mom should not be concerned because there are a variety of breast milk booster products that can assist Mom in increasing breast milk production for the child, including

1. Processed Milk Products
2. Nuts
3. Tea with Ginger Milk
4. Boiled Egg
5. Dates
6. Yam
7. Popcorn
8. Dark Chocolate

Some of the products above can be consumed by Mom as a natural breast milk booster to help increase breast milk volume if Mom’s breastfeeding problem does not improve after attempting some of the suggestions above. Immediately make a visit and consult directly with a lactation doctor. 

Mom can now have a Kehamilan Sehat. Three branches of the Pregnancy Sehat clinic (KS Karang Tengah, KS Serpong, KS Prime Alam Sutera, and KS Kranggan) already provide lactation consultations and various breastfeeding complaints.
