Massage may boost breast milk in C-Section moms, study says
NCT ID NCT07077655
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether two simple massage techniques—the Marmet technique and oxytocin massage—can increase breast milk production in first-time mothers who had a C-section. 123 women will be randomly assigned to receive one of the massages or a light touch (placebo). Researchers will measure milk volume and anxiety levels before and after the intervention. The goal is to find a natural, drug-free way to support breastfeeding after cesarean delivery.

Active substance
Marmet technique and oxytocin massage
What this could lead to
If effective, these simple massage techniques could help new mothers produce more breast milk after a C-section, reducing anxiety and supporting breastfeeding.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 123 participants. The techniques may not significantly increase milk volume, and results may not apply to all mothers.
