Why should milk duct疏通 be done for three consecutive days?

Conducting lactation induction for three consecutive days is intended to achieve the best possible results.

Lactation induction is generally performed after childbirth, before initiating breastfeeding. Performing it for three consecutive days helps maximize its effectiveness. It usually involves massaging the breasts to clear the mammary ducts, stimulate milk production, and increase breast milk volume. However, it's important to undergo this procedure at a reputable medical facility and choose an appropriate massage intensity based on individual conditions to avoid causing breast inflammation. If a mother still experiences low milk supply after lactation induction, she can enhance milk production by allowing the baby to nurse frequently or increasing her intake of protein-rich foods.

It is recommended that mothers avoid raw, cold, spicy, greasy, and other irritating foods while breastfeeding, and refrain from smoking and drinking alcohol. In daily life, maintaining a cheerful mood is essential; prolonged feelings of depression or anxiety may lead to endocrine disorders, abnormal prolactin secretion, and consequently reduced breast milk supply.
