At 5 years old, there was no significant difference in parity and mean age between the two groups of mothers (P> 0.05). Patients in both groups were postpartum women, premature infants, neonatal asphyxia, neonatal ischemic hypoxic encephalopathy and maternal breast disease were excluded.
1.2 Method
In the simple group, 150 patients received a simple breast massage on the parturient. Before the massage, the breasts could be hot-compressed with hot towels.

P <0.05 was considered statistically significant. 2 Results The postpartum lactation time, daily lactation volume, successful breastfeeding ratio, and nursing satisfaction of the patients in the combined group were better than those in the simple group (P <0.05), as shown in Table 1. Patients in both groups did not experience severe discomfort and adverse reactions due to manual massage or improper operation of the breast pump.
