The most effective method to potentially increase your milk supply within a 30-minute timeframe is through hands-on pumping. This technique is designed to maximize milk expression during pumping sessions.
Hands-On Pumping: A 30-Minute Solution
According to research, hands-on pumping can increase the amount of milk a mother expresses in a single session. Here's how to do it:
-
Time Commitment: The entire process takes approximately 25 to 30 minutes.
-
Who Can Benefit: This technique is particularly helpful if:
- Your baby isn't breastfeeding directly.
- You're struggling to pump enough milk for your baby.
-
What It Involves: Hands-on pumping combines manual breast massage and compression with electric pumping. The massage helps stimulate milk release, while the compression aids in emptying the breasts more effectively.
