Breast massage: Pulmo Sleep Center Elixir✓

Breast massage is a technique used to improve circulation in the breasts, relieve tension and pain, and to prevent or treat problems such as clogged milk ducts or nipple ridges. Also, massage can help stimulate lactation in nursing mothers. Regular massaging of the breasts can contribute to better milk production, as well as reducing the discomfort that may occur during breastfeeding.

Breast massage includes gentle, circular massaging of the breasts and nipples. The initial technique includes massage from the outside to the inside, which helps stimulate the mammary glands and release milk. The massage can be performed in a lying or sitting position, using gentle movements, without too much pressure. It is recommended to use natural oils or special creams to keep the skin hydrated and protected. The massage can be performed several times a day, especially before breastfeeding, to facilitate the evacuation of milk.

Breast massage usually lasts from 5 to 10 minutes per breast, and can be performed several times a day. If there is a problem with blocked milk ducts or pain, regular massaging is recommended until the problem is resolved. The massage can be continued as long as the mother in labor is breastfeeding, in order to maintain comfort, stimulation of lactation and breast health.
