What is Lactamo?
Lactamo is a super super soft (and safe!) silicone ball, expertly designed to help with breastfeeding problems. Lactamo is a world first in breastfeeding! It uses a combination of temperature, movement and compression to help with common breastfeeding problems including oversupply, undersupply, blocked ducts and engorgement. Heatable, coolable and reusable.
Directions:
Using temperature
Lactamo is a soft ball specifically designed for breast tissue. It can be heated or cooled (depending on requirements) and is applied directly to breast tissue. Lactamo can be used before, during or after breastfeeding, in the shower, and with massage oils. Lactamo is heated by submerging it in boiling water for 3 minutes. Lactamo can also be heated in a conventional steam steriliser for one cycle. Lactamo can be cooled in the freezer (preferably for at least 2 hours), or in a glass of iced water for 3 minutes.
Caution: Do not use this product for anything other than its intended purpose. Stop use and replace this product if it shows any sign of damage. Massage oils or hand creams should not be used at the same time as this product. Please stop using this product and consult your healthcare professional if you feel any discomfort during use.
Use massage
For a few minutes before a feed, roll heated Lactamo over the surface of the breast, always massaging towards the nipple, applying firm but comfortable pressure to the breast.
