Lactation management involves supporting mothers to successfully breastfeed by ensuring proper techniques, feeding schedules, and addressing any challenges like latch issues or low milk supply. It includes educating about the importance of exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months, managing milk production through regular nursing or pumping, and providing emotional support. Effective lactation management promotes healthy growth for the baby, reduces the risk of health problems, and helps mothers feel confident and empowered in their breastfeeding journey. It often involves healthcare professionals, peer support, and guidance to create a positive breastfeeding experience.
