HOW TO USE

Lactamo harnesses the power of lymphatic drainge and gentle therapeutic breast massage and lymphatic drainage, uniquely combining breastfeeding's 3 key components (temperature, movement and compression) in one solution.

How Lactamo helps

Temperature, movement and compression have the ability to reactively and proactively address the most common breastfeeding problems that 92% of mums experience including engorgement, blocked milk ducts, mastitis, low milk supply and oversupply.

Whether you're dealing with one (or more) of these common breastfeeding problems, or want to avoid them in the first place, Lactamo is here to offer a helping hand. Lactamo focuses on optimal milk supply and supports lymphatic drainage and blood flow. Lactamo has been developed by a team of lactation specialists, and is matched to the elasticity of lactating breasts.

4 tips to get the most out of Lactamo

The way that you use Lactamo is important and depends on your (often varying) needs: make sure you always follow the instructions for your needs.
You can repeat steps in the instructions as preferred.
When using Lactamo during a feed make sure it doesn’t interfere with your baby’s attachment at the breast.
Your breasts are working hard. When using Lactamo only apply a gentle amount of pressure that feels comfortable for you. Remember: lactating breasts are sensitive and massaging should feel supportive, and never painful.

Take care

Do not heat Lactamo in a microwave.
Do not let Lactamo end up in the toy basket – it’s not a toy! Make sure to only use it as directed and handle it with care.
People with heart conditions, kidney problems, or cellulitis should consult with a healthcare professional before using lymphatic drainage techniques.
Lactamo is for external use only. Apply Lactamo directly to the skin, but do not use Lactamo on broken skin.
Discard Lactamo if it becomes deflated or the outer silicone is damaged.

Remember: if symptoms persist, or if you’re ever unsure or concerned, consult your healthcare professional.

Lactamo is reusable but is sensitive and fragile (like breasts!). Depending on humidity and environmental conditions, Lactamo may vary in size over time. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures and extreme humidities. Each Lactamo has a best before date of 1 year from the date of purchase. After this date it will not cause harm to use it, but it may not deliver optimal benefits.
