What are the techniques for reducing milk supply? Videos available
Generally, milk regression can be achieved through massage. The specific steps are as follows:
1. Wash hands thoroughly and ensure they are warm before beginning.
2. Apply a thin, even layer of regenerative oil to the nipples.
3. Gently massage the outer area of the breast using the fingertips, pushing diagonally outward from the nipple, then circling under the breast and guiding back toward the nipple. Perform this massage 3–4 times daily, with each session lasting approximately 15–20 minutes.
4. If milk begins to flow from the nipple, gently press on the nipple with your fingers to prevent excessive leakage.
It is important to note that milk regression massage requires time and patience. If any discomfort or pain occurs during the massage, discontinue immediately and consult a healthcare provider.
