Breastfeeding advice
Doctors advise massage in the following cases.
When expressing. There are times when, after giving birth, you are with the baby separately and you need to express milk. To ensure the desired degree of lactation, make soft and light touches, then the glands will be more willing to give milk.
With lactostasis. This is stagnation in the region of the glands, and feeding the baby will be the best help. But a light, gentle massageacts on the seal, which will be easier to dissolve with such touches.
With increased tissue tone. During pregnancy and breastfeeding, breasts can double or even triple in size. This leads to muscle dysfunction. It becomes harder for the muscles to hold the chest, so it sinks. In this case, proper breast massage is necessary.
Prophylactic massage
It will help when the chest hurts, it can also stimulate the tone of the tissue. So, how to do breast massage for prevention:
- Place your palm on the upper part of the mammary gland just below the collarbone.
- Make light, no pressure, massaging movements in a circle.
- Slowly move your hand closer to the nipple.
- It is recommended to rinse the chest with warm water and repeat the movement again.
To be effective, no pressure is needed, light touches are enough, and do it before feeding to make milk flow easier.
Healing technique
During breastfeeding, many women experience difficulties. For easier pumping and resorption of lactostasis, therapeutic massage is recommended. Each mammary gland must be massaged with palms in a circle, starting from the collarbone, closer to the nipples with fingers in a spiral. Further, breast massage with lactostasis is carried out with fingers in a straight line from different parts of the mammary gland to the nipples, then, slightly squeezing them between the thumb and forefinger. To make the milk flow in the right direction, gently shake the toppart of the body. This must be done very carefully, being in a relaxed state. After that, it is recommended to repeat the massaging movements under a warm shower.
This breast massage for stagnation in problem areas should be done for at least three minutes, while not putting too much pressure on the lumps.
Recommendations for implementation
In order to perform therapeutic massage, it is not necessary to go to a specialist. Especially when the baby has just appeared, there is not enough time to go to the doctor. You can easily handle this task yourself. Remember that breast massage during feeding stimulates even more milk production, so do not abuse it to avoid stagnation.
It is important to maintain hygiene. Be sure to wash your hands with soap and water before the procedure, and your chest with just warm water. It is not worth lathering it again with various means, as you can wash off the necessary skin lubricant that protects the chest from external harmful effects.
A light breast massage for milk can be done during feeding, which helps to prevent congestion. If you have no problems with breastfeeding, then therapeutic massages are not worth it.
Massage for mastopathy
