You may be wondering what is the benefit of using a massage using a Spectra milk extraction device? When do I use it? How does it help with milk production?
Below we will answer these questions.
How is breastfeeding done? The baby begins breastfeeding with a quick and short sucking method
It sends signals to the brain to stimulate the hormone prolactin (the hormone responsible for milk production).
It affects the mammary glands in the breast, so milk begins to secrete in sufficient quantity for the child, and the process occurs naturally
Once the milk starts flowing, the baby begins to suck more deeply and slowly.
How does massaging with the Spectra device help stimulate milk flow?
The massage mode of the Spectra device imitates the way the baby begins breastfeeding, meaning quick and short sucking cycles per minute, up to 70 cycles per minute.
To stimulate the breasts to flow milk, with 5 massage levels to choose what is appropriate for you.
