Why Lactamo
The importance of gentle breast massage
Scientific studies recommend gentle breast massage and the combination of temperature, movement and compression to address most of the common breastfeeding issues.
Some of the many benefits of gentle breast massage
Gentle breast massage using the three components (temperature, movement and compression) have the ability to:
stimulate milk production and flow and aid the let-down reflex
help ease congestion
help fight off infection
help relieve swelling and pain
improve blood circulation
facilitate lymphatic drainage
proactively increase the quality of breastmilk (by increasing total solids, lipids, casein concentration and gross energy)
How does Lactamo work?
Lactamo has been specially designed with every breastfeeding mama’s individual needs in mind.
Lactamo is covered in a mix of solid and hollow lumps, some larger, some smaller, allowing you to find the right firmness and pattern of movement to help your personal breastfeeding needs. And because all breasts need to be treated with care, Lactamo’s (medical grade) silicone outer and gel inside are super-duper soft, even after they’ve been chilled in the freezer. And when we say soft, we mean it – Lactamo is as soft as a marshmallow.
Your breastfeeding needs will change as your baby grows, which is where Lactamo’s versatile design comes in handy. With Lactamo’s different textures and levels of firmness you can use it to suit your specific needs and preferences. Lactamo is here to support you during those sensitive times (and all the way through your entire breastfeeding journey).
We’re not a fan of nasties (and we know you’re not either), which is why the outside of Lactamo is crafted from 100% medical grade silicone and we’ve used a non-toxic gel (a common food additive) inside. Lactamo is listed on the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (371782) as a Class 1 Medical Device. After all, nothing is more important than your and your baby’s health and safety.
Why Lactamo
Lactamo is here to help mums with the most common breastfeeding challenges experienced by 92% of mums. With glowing customer testimonials, reviews from healthcare professionals and leading lactation consultants, it’s no wonder Lactamo has picked up a slew of awards for being a world first “game-changer” in breastfeeding.
