Benefits of lactation massage [and other aids for lactation on Amazon]

Not all breastfeeding moms have the same experience. When experts say that breastfeeding is the natural thing to do for moms, it was not mentioned that it does not always come easy to all moms.

Sometimes, some moms find it difficult to breastfeed even if they badly want to do so.

In that case, experts suggest that moms try lactation massage. Through this, the lactation ducts that are clogged can be managed.

Dr. Natasha Chinn, an OBGYN from New Jersey, explained in an article by Parents that lactation massage has benefits to moms.

First, this helps in loosening clogs in the ducts that cause difficulties in breastfeeding. Second, lactation massage can relieve pain in the impacted area of the breast.

Dr. Chinn also adds that lactation massage can help in keeping the milk flowing freely.

Another expert, Amelia Henning, says that lactation massage increases the production of some moms' breast milk. She said, "Lactation massage may be key to successfully breastfeed or pumping on an extended basis."

With all the benefits of a lactation massage, it is not a wonder that moms consider this. A certified lactation expert can help in doing a lactation massage.
