Here are some methods commonly used by prolactinists:
Massage: Massage can promote blood circulation and lymph flow, increase breast congestion and sensitivity, thus stimulating breast to produce more milk. The prolactin usually teaches the parturient how to massage the breast correctly, including the technique, frequency and time.
Hot compress: Hot compress can promote blood circulation and breast permeability, thus increasing milk secretion. The prolactin will instruct the parturient how to use hot compress, and choose the appropriate way and time according to the maternal situation.
Diligent breastfeeding: Diligent breastfeeding can stimulate the breast to secrete more milk, and the prolactin will teach the parturient how to breastfeed correctly, including posture, time and frequency.
Drugs: Some drugs, such as coix seed and peanuts, are considered to have the effect of promoting milk secretion. The prolactinist will use drugs appropriately to promote lactation according to the physical condition and needs of the parturient.
Psychological counseling: Psychological factors will also affect milk secretion. The prolactin will give the parturient the necessary psychological guidance and encouragement to help the parturient maintain a good attitude and eliminate tension and pressure.
Nutrition guidance: During lactation, the intake of nutrition is also very important for the secretion of milk, and the prolactin will give reasonable nutrition guidance and suggestions according to the needs and conditions of the parturient.
To sum up, the prolactin will promote the lactation of the parturient in various ways, and at the same time give the necessary psychological and nutritional support to help the parturient better complete the lactation process. During lactation, the parturient should listen to the guidance of the prolactin, pay attention to the operating norms, and give feedback on the effect and feelings in time so as to make adjustments when necessary.
