Title Slide | Welcome to the Spoken Tutorial on-
Physical Methods to Increase the Amount of Breast Milk. |
Image: Group image of types of physical methods | In this tutorial, we will learn-
How to increase the amount of breastmilk using different physical methods |
Image: Mother and baby in skin to skin contact | Let us first begin with Kangaroo mother care. |
Image: Mother holding baby in skin to skin contact | In this method-
|
Image: Mother and baby in skin to skin contact | Note that, the procedure for-
|
Image: Let down reflex
Image: Oxytocin hormone |
Next, we will learn how to improve the Let down reflex or Oxytocin reflex.
Before that, we should know what is Oxytocin? |
Image: Mother thinking about baby
Image: Breast with milk droplets |
Oxytocin is a hormone which encourages the Let down reflex
|
Image: Mother looking at the baby

Therefore, to push the milk out-
|
Image: Single image of hot water fomentation, upper back massaging and breast massage. Image: Massage of upper back and neck with arrows for indicating same nerve Image: Massage of the breast |
Alternately, other methods that will help to push the milk out are-
|
Image : Mother taking shower

Let us see how to do hot water fomentation,
|
Image: Single image of back massaging and breast massaging

Next, let us learn about massaging |
Image: Helper massaging back of the mother. |
|
Image: Mother massaging the breast
Image: Milk flowing freely Image: Breast with milk droplets Image: Empty the breast completely |
|
Image: Baby latched on to mother’s breast | Another method of increasing the amount of breast milk is-
Let us see how to do so- |
Image: Brushing of nipple on upper lip
Image: Baby opening mouth widely Image: Correct latching Image: Correct latching giving sufficient milk |
|
Image: Mother breastfeeding in sitting position | Make sure during breastfeeding- |
Image:Mother holding baby to support full body

|
Image: Mother’s breast showing areola with arrow | Please note-
Areola is the dark area around the nipple. |

Next, let us look at another physical method which is gentle pressing of the breast-
|
Image: Releasing more milk
GIF: Baby suckling on breast |
|
Image: Gentle pressing of breast | Gentle pressing of the breast has been explained in another tutorial of same series. |
Image: Breast feeding at night in sitting position
|
An interesting fact is that, night time feeding is important.

Image: Prolactin hormone |
The amount of hormone Prolactin in breast milk is higher during the night. |
GIF: Baby suckling on breast
Image: Growth and development of baby |
When the baby feeds more at night-
|
Image: Milk droplets from breast
Image: Mother breastfeeding 12 times. Image: Breastfeeding at night 3 times. |
Another important factor to increase the amount of breast milk is-
the breastfeeding frequency.
|
Image: Group image of early hunger signals. |
Watch out for early hunger signals such as, |
Image: Baby turning her body from one side to other side
Image: Baby turning mouth towards finger touched on her cheek, with arrows. Image: Baby opening mouth |
|
Image: Baby crying | Remember,
Crying of the baby is a late signal of hunger.
|
Image: Breast and glass with hind milk
Image: Breast with milk at the back of breast Image: Fat droplets Image: Hind milk in a glass to show consistency Image: Complete emptying of one breast and then second breast by breastfeeding. |
Also removal of hind milk is important
|
Image: Mother manually expressing milk | Now, let us discuss about-
Expressing the milk from the breast after feeding the baby. |
Image: Mother removing milk |
|
Image: Breast milk expression with fingers and thumb
Image: Pressing the breast inward |
To do so,
|
GIF: Baby suckling |
|
Image: Group image of expressing milk in between two feeds with 1 hour gap
Image: Mother expressing breast milk with one hand |
|
