13 February 2023Are you constantly trying to find how to boost your breast milk supply? You're not alone. In Singapore, an insufficient milk supply is one of the top reasons why mothers stop breastfeeding. Luckily, lactation massages can help.
Lactation massages use specialised techniques to increase breast milk supply and improve the breastfeeding experience. A massage therapist trained in the unique needs of nursing mothers will gently massage your breasts and chest area to increase blood flow, stimulate milk production, and clear blocked ducts.
Benefits of Lactation Massages
Getting a lactation massage can be a game changer if you’re struggling to breastfeed your little one. Here’re some of its benefits:
1. Increases milk production
Lactation massages help to increase milk production by increasing blood flow to the breasts. The massage techniques used during the lactation massage stimulates the release of hormones that are responsible for milk production, such as prolactin and oxytocin.
2. Improves letdown
In addition to increasing milk production, lactation massages can also help to improve the flow of milk. This can make breastfeeding more comfortable for both the mother and baby, as the baby will be able to latch on better and extract milk.
3. Eases stress and tension
Lactation massages can alleviate any tension or stress in the mother's body, particularly for mothers who may be experiencing pain or discomfort while breastfeeding. And the best part? Breast massages are typically gentle and relaxing, making it an enjoyable and soothing experience for the mother receiving it.
4. Prevents breastfeeding issues
A lactation massage therapist uses techniques such as gentle compression and strokes to clear ducts and increase milk flow. They can also help to spot problems such as engorgement, blocked ducts or mastitis, and provide guidance on how to prevent or address these issues.

Mothers can also indulge in delicious and nutritional lactation snacks, such as lactation cookies and cold-pressed juices, from Marian's Lactation Boost.
