For Lactation: Use with a TENS unit such as perfect mama+ or perfect mamaTENS. For maximum benefit choose programs with a Burst mode (2 bursts per second) such as perfect mamaTENS program A1.

• Place the pair of electrode pads on your breasts on each side of the nipple, 1-2 cm away from the areola. Each breast should be connected using lead wires from the same channel: one electrode pad connected to the red lead connector and one to the black.
• Choose the program and use it for 15 minutes every two hours. Stimulating the sensory nerves in the breast by a TENS machine will imitate a baby suckling (>100 times per minute), which will cause your body to produce Prolactin, the hormone required for lactation. This stimulation should generate a mild tingling sensation. Prolactin is released from the pituitary in about 4-5 discrete pulses over 15-20 minutes with suckling. After this more release does not occur for a while so stimulating the breast for more than 20 minutes does not cause Prolactin release.
• Once you start getting milk in the breast, do not use TENS to replace your regular sessions, because milk staying in the alveoli can turn the alveoli back off. You can use TENS as a supplement stimulation with pumping later or during the night while you sleep to accelerate the changes. When do you need to induce lactation?
• Adoption
• Maternal-infant separation
• Emergencies/natural disasters Lactation can be a big struggle for some mums-to-be, especially for adoptive mothers, or mothers who have used surrogates.

Breastfeeding does not just mean feeding the baby to fulfil its hunger and achieve the best possible growth, it always means creating a bond between the mother and the baby. Many women desire to induce lactation for the emotional benefits and relational closeness experienced by both mother and baby. The process of inducing lactation is not complicated but can be slow, and it is recommended to start stimulation about 6 weeks before welcoming the baby. You need to actively stimulate your breasts for 10-15 minutes each at least every 3-4 hours throughout the day.

After a few days or weeks (or months) of stimulation you may begin to see your breasts and nipples swelling. They will feel larger and feel sore and under pressure. These are all normal indications that new acini (the milk-producing glandular tissues) are developing inside your breasts. That is necessary before you will be able to produce milk. Once milk appears and you are not yet nursing a child, use a hospital grade breast pump to empty the breast after you use the TENS unit. Emptying the breasts helps you lactate more following the supply and demand theory.

Advice

• The electrode pads supplied are reusable but for single patient use.
• The electrode pads provided are latex-free.
• Ensure that you have spare batteries available. 
• To obtain the best conductivity through the electrode pads always ensure that they are in good condition and tacky.
• Replace the electrode pads when they lose their stickiness or dry out.
• In very hot weather the gel on the electrode pads may become soft.
• Purchase replacement pads as may be necessary if you are using the machine regularly. 

Storage life Electrode pads should last 12 to 20 applications, depending on skin condition and humidity. Storage life of an unopened pack of electrode pads is 2 years. This may be affected by very high temperatures or very low humidity.
