- Pumping your breasts not only helps to make milk, it helps uterus (womb) shrink and decreases bleeding.
- Get enough rest and stay healthy to keep up your milk supply.
- Nipple stimulation or breastfeeding are stimuli that can lead to secretion of oxytocin and consequent uterine contractions.
- Consequently, uterine contractions can reduce bleeding during the third stage of labour.
